What's wrong with Dell? Besides for the XPS's they're very durable and flexible OS wise. Other laptops I've tried putting Unbuntu on had computability issues. I've also dropped this laptop multiple times and the few times it has broken due to my really ****ing stupid friends Dell has fixed it in under a week. The prices are also great. Also that D500 looks pretty good for FFR, wouldn't use it for any other gaming though. Also to clear things up it has 1GB of RAM and a 1.3GHz single core processor.

Different OS's use different amounts of resources. Vista uses quite a bit unless you optimize it but then it still uses quite a bit. That's why things are slower on a Vista than on an XP. Also from my experiences Mac's OS X eats up a lot of resources too. Get a good Linux OS if you really care about your computer that much but I don't recommend it unless you know what you're doing.
