I had problem to find proper driver for ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 and I succeed to install official Dell video driver aimed for Win XP. ATI Catalyst Control Centre will not work so don't try to install any version...it is waste of time. Just take offical Dell video driver for XP and install it via Device manger "Update driver". But with this you will just have working VGA without any additional options like to coonect PC to TV etc. (if someone figure this issue out, please share your solution) For Sound card (AC'97) this driver will work: 6303_Vista_Win7_PG537 Regarding network drivers you can get them via win 7 updates under "optional updates" cheers I just installed Win 7 on Dell Latitude D600 (RAM 512 MB PC2100) and it works fine.

I was running WIN7 and had managed to run CM2010 and other games, having managed to install Radeon 9000, but then recently I had a slight glitch and formatted using WIN7RTM, I managed to reinstalled the Radeon and then unistalled it by mistake, now I cant re-install it whatsoever!Any ideas??/ Hi,

I upgraded the RAM to 2 GB. It's more responsive than Windows XP ever was. I intalled the Vista graphics driver and the old sound driver. Windows 7 works great on my D600. I upgraded the RAM to 2 GB.

First problem was Radeon 9000 drivers but i found file called Vista_ATI_Radeon_XDDM_6.14.10.6606.zip it has last Ati driver that support radeon 9000 and works ok. Sounds i got working with latest drivers from dell site v5.10.0.3952, A15 didn't run setup.exe just use update driver in device manager. Intel Wlan 2200GB worked ok with vista drivers from intel site. Dell truemobile 300 bluetooth works after i installed Dell's quickset to get bluetooth radio on. Quick set has to be installed setting setup.exe compability to xp. Allmost everything is ok now, only problem is sleep mode s3 does reboot when trying to resume from sleep. Hope somebody has solution for that ? I installed Windows 7 on my Dell D600.

I would not use it in normal day to day use because the lack of drivers for graphics and sound card, however something crossed my mind and I tried it: I installed Windows XP drivers for Radeon 9000 (the pack would not install because it says that is not compatible, but I installed manually) and I was astonished to see that it worked, and quite better than I thought (all my games which I play on XP, work perfectly, like in XP, better than in Vista). No aero, but I don't mind that. The same with sound card drivers, I installed the driver (the newest I could find, on dell.com I think, compatible with vista) and it too worked perfectly. Now I have all of my drivers installed and working, and the system runs very fast and is very responsive. You should try it, I guarantee you that it works.

Caught this website in doing some research on my old D600. I upgraded to 1.5GB RAM and installed Win7RC. Runs very well. Outperforms Vist by leaps and bounds. For most of the drivers, I used the original drivers, except for the Intel Pro Wireless card. Went to Intel for that. Otherwise, runs great. Reminds me of an oversized Netbook ;) Hi all.

How much RAM is installed on your D600? 1GB? 2GB? Gabe: Thx for the D600 Win7RC feedback. How much RAM is installed on your D600? 1GB? 2GB?
