making of a convert

[g]

after several years of promoting linux to a friend, vista has
'sealed the deal'.

system is;

DELL INSPIRON 1501
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core TK-53
Video - ATI Radeon Xpress 1150
Audio - Sigmatel High Definition Codec
Network - Wired - Broadcom 440x 10/100
           Wireless -  Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN 802.11g
           Modem - Conexant HDA V.92
Synaptics PS/2 port touchpad
Wirelessmouse - Microsoft Optical 3000
OptiArc DVD-RW Drive AD5560A
1gb DDR2 ram
120gb Hitachi HTS

would any one on list have such or similar hardware?

in check compatibilities, his concern is ati only shows drivers
for xpress 1250.

i mentioned 1250 may work, but that i would check here to see.

any knowledge, suggestions, recommendations, will be greatly
appreciated.

tia.
