New computer

Okay! I just ordered a new computer and I am going away for a few days and once I get back it'll be delivered and ready for use.

What I bought was:

A Dell Inspiron 530.

I configured it with:

2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo E4400
Vista Basic (I didn't want anything more)
Dell 20" Widescreen LCD
4GB 800Mhz DDR2 RAM
250GB SATA NCQ
16X DVD+/-RW with Dual Layer Write Capabilities (I thought this was worth a shit load)
256MB XFX 8600GT with Quiet Zalman Heatsink

I was just wondering, since I've seen a few thigns on it, whether or not I should do anything before I install Vista Basic. Is there anything I should do before I set it up to improve it without buying new hardware? For example buying a un-branded (not Dell) Vista installation in order to get rid of the extras that come with it? Things like that.

Regards.

 

if it already comes with vista just use that and remove what you dont want imho
