My Guide to my Dell Mini 9 ... and installing Vista!
In the last few weeks on the forums, most of my posts have been running around trying to help folks with specific technical questions about the new Dell Mini 9. I took the time this weekend to try and document my own MIni 9 and how I have it running Vista. Since I have done a lot of the technical things people seem to be asking about (Using a Class 6 SDHC card for example), I have tried to address many of these common questions... including how I installed Vista on my laptop!
Questions from the forums that I know for sure I addressed:
- Does the Mini 9 Support dual monitors?
- Does the Mini 9 support SDHC cards? Class 6?
- Does the US version of the Mini 9 include a 3G card? I heard something about a WWAN port, is that in my Mini 9?
- Can the Mini 9 handle more after-market memory?
- Why isnt the 32GB version of the STEC SSD available on the Mini 9 instead of only the 4, 8, and 16GB drives?
- If someone was interested, could they install vista on the Mini 9?

If someone is interested, I want to do a followup that adds more pictures and addresses more of the pictures and some of the questions I didnt hit the first time around.
What would you like to see an actual technical user of the Mini 9 document for you? Some things that occur immediately to mind include screenshots of the DxDiag or System Information screens, screenshot of the Vista system rating, information about running certain benchmark applications on the Mini 9, etc.
Feel free to contact me directly or post in this thread what else you would like to find out about the Mini 9 - with Vista.
