I was thinking about getting an Acer Ferrari 4005WLMi and getting XP pro x64 until I read it has limited software compatibility. So does that mean some or most programs wont work on it? Should I stick with XP pro?

Also are there any laptops that can match that one for that price (~€1900). The features I like are
1GB RAM
128MB ATI graphics
100GB HD
slot load dvd drive
bluetooth

Yes this is a wee problem, im using it and I had to change my virus scaner from avg to avast, I cant use deamon tools either. But I havent had any problems with battelfield 2 and most of my other software.

Take a look at the Acer Aspire 5024WLMi. All yours for about €1350 inc shipping, thats what I payed

Hmm I think I'll give the 64bit windows a miss and put 64bit linux on it.
