Installed Win 7 Pro on an XPS410 (to make it compatible with my new
XPS9000). No problems with the install and the 410 ran great.

About to try Win7 Pro on my R61 Lenovo ThinkPad.

I installed it on a Dimension 4600 but with my Radeon 7500 video card it
really looked lousy so I uninstalled. I would like to put it back but
can anyone suggest a good AGP video card to handle it. Thanks
