Hey guys, quick question. I currently have a Dell Dimension E510 and want to upgrade it from XP to Windows 7 when it comes out. I keep reading that Windows 7 requires SLIC 2.1 in the bios but apparently only newer (shipped with vista) pcs and laptops from dell have this new slic. Will I be able to upgrade or will I have to resort to a newer pc (mine is 6ish? years old - maybe older) since Dell doesnt apparently have newer bios for my pc?

Why don't you just ask Dell?
