Running NX on a Dell XPS machine 1

[Hydrostone]

I am looking a purchasing a Dell XPS M2010 because of it's large screen and portability.
See:

The processor is the same as offered on the M90, but the vedio card is different (radeon x1800).
Does anybody have experience with this hardware?

I realize I will probably need to load XP to run NX3 on this, but other than that I think it should do a good job. Am I wrong?

No. The XPS should work fine. I have a 3 year old XPS gen2 with a Radeon 9800Pro card and it ran V18, NX1 and Wildfire 1 & 2 just fine.
The only thing to remember is that it is not a certified configuration, so any problems cannot be reported as they will blame it on the graphics.
