dual-core mobile technology TL-52 processor (1.6GHz); genuine

hardware driver problems are a bane for Windows Vista; AMD chip
tends to get too hot.

adapter.
Tech Times verdict: Go and buy
one, that is if you’re ready to dwell in the realm of
Microsoft’s latest OS, which for now leaves us at Tech Times
frustrated over driver compatibility for many of our external
hardware, not to mention multilayer security that annoys more than
make you feel safe. By this time, Windows XP is already stable and a
more reliable version, which is for us, a better Windows OS
option—at least until the first Vista service pack comes in.
