I recently bought a DELL OptiPlex GX260 Series. It had Windows XP and I could update it to Windows Vista. Here is the problem. Installed it succssefully BUT it was stuck on 8-bit and lowest resolution. I searched at Yahoo! Answers and found that I need to install the video drivers for Windows Vista from DELL website. I tried, and guess what: No video drivers for Windows Vista! Only MS-DOS, Windows 95,98,2K and XP! Please tell me where I can find DELL OptiPlex GX260 Series video drivers for Windows Vista...

P.S: When it comes to NEWER machines, I HATE THEM HAVING WINDOWS XP...

This machine isn't "newer". It was probably manufactured in 2005. The performance with Vista will be abysmal. Stick XP back on it.

My GX620 ran Win7 seamlessly before I loaded the Win10 Tech Preview on it. Drivers won't come from Dell website because they really don't update for old machines..

A GX620 is different. It's got higher specs and newer P4's than the GX260's did.
