Basically, I'm thinking of buying this pc, but it comes with Vista- and I'd like to remove that and put XP on it. However, on the Acer site, it only has drivers under the 'Vista' category. Will these drivers work with XP anyway? Or is there another place to get compatible ones? Thanks.

With few exceptions, Vista drivers will be incompatable with XP. The only way to get XP drivers would be to take the individual components and go to their manufacturer websites and download the drivers from there.

Why do you need to downgrade? Tbh I've usually found it to be more trouble than its worth.
