Need some advice please
Have bought a Dell PC (for my Nephew) and Vista Home Premium is installed. Also installed is McAfee Security Suite (not sure if trial).
Spec - X2 3800, 2GB RAM, 250GB HD, DVD RW, Media Card Reader. Have purchased separate Daewoo 19" Widescreen from Scan (for £95) as Dell wanted £176 for a 19" Widescreen
1. My Nephew (and I) don't have a clue about Vista, I was wondering if I should uninstall it and install XP instead?
2. There is some preinstalled "junk" so (if sticking with Vista) should I wipe the computer and reinstall the OS? I did see a BIG performance increase when I wiped a Dell laptop and reinstalled only the required drivers/programs.
3. Will there be a big performance increase if I install XP?
4. Does anyone know if McAfee on Vista is any good? Should I install the freebies instead (AVG Anti Virus/Zone Alarm Firewall)?
Thank you.
