Like several posters, I recently acquired a Vostro 1500 with windows XP, and it is a fine laptop in many regards.
However, there is no offering of hardware sound acceleration for games, and the headphone socket suffers from significant interference from the fan. The latter point is extremely annoying, as it prevents prolonged use of headphones.
Has anyone tried using an X-fi for notebooks before? Does it help to cut down the noise output on the headphone line (the one on the card, that is)?
I'm sure other express slot sound cards would also help, but the additional load off the CPU would help with playing Oblivion, too![]()

If that's not the case, then the USB protocol itself would need hand-holding, yes.
