So I've been eyeballing the Dell XPS 1715 notebooks, the powerhouse for gaming, etc. As SOON as they only gave Windows Vista as your only OS of choise, they took out the "Sound Blaster HD Internal sound card" option, and left it with "internal sound" only. However, their "help me choose" section STILL showed the Sound Blaster HD card.
They said it is because Windows Vista isn't compatible with Sound Blaster, and that option won't be back for a few months. Dag nabbit!!

Two things: avoid Dell until they fix their cust service probs and soundblaster tends to be buggy. I could rant on and on about Dell and the cheap sonic drive they put on my system last year, but i wont. I run Photoshop, mostly and Windows Media center does a pretty poor job of running it with frequent crashes and lock ups with 1 gig of memory. Prob would have to add another gig to keep Vista happy. So i would steer clear of ultimate until I'm sure they have fixed ALL the bugs in the media center interface that they used us XP ME people as involuntary testers to develop. Just think of all those crash msgs that came off my computer lol. BTW media player 11 DOES NOT support anything except jpegs when burning discs.
It is NOT for the pro or serious photographer. I would go with vista business just for the stability to run photoshop, lightroom, etc. That's why MAC's overpriced computers sell, because they DO listen to pro photogs and their stuff really works well with really big and complex images with alot of layers, etc.
