Windows 7 Installed Fine
I buy, build, rebuild and sell D610 laptops and found that while Dell doesn't list the D610 as capable of running the new Windows 7 OS, I had no problem installing it on one of the rebuilt laptops I'm selling. It works great and offers the user some of the nice options associated with the new OS. I didn't have to do anything special during the installation and it acually went in very fast and smooth. The CPU is a 2.0Ghz and I have 1.5GB DDR-2 RAM. This particular unit has the SXGA LCD with the 1400 x 1050 DPI resolution (great feature). I've had it running continuous for about a week now and no issues of any kind (heat or otherwise).
Yes is a great machine counting that is from almost 4 years old or more? i have one running W7 Professional.
The D6X0 series from Dell are great machines. I bought a Dell D630 off of ebay to replace an aging Dell X300 and haven't looked back. I'm running Win 7 64-bit Ultimate and it runs very very well. My laptop is a Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz, 4 Gb RAM and 500 Gb hard disk; it also has the nVidia option and the 1440x900 LCD panel. I bought several D600's and D610's over the years at work and they are still going strong, even with all the abuse.
I worked off of a Dell D600 for my first year of college. It was a really nice little machine. Never let me down! Sold it on ebay for as much as I payed for it.

I installed the same OS without any issue with the wifi. The Win7 OS automatically installed the driver for the Dell 1370 wifi card and opened the "connect to" option upon the reboot. You may need to check for the specific wifi card in your D610 but I've had no problem with mine. The only issue I have encountered on any of the D610s is with the video display. I found that the 'aero' settings are not compatible with the Intel 915 128MB RAM chip - but otherwise works fine with all other settings (resolution settings, etc.). The ATI 64MB RAM chip does work with the 'aero' settings - which is the chip in the first D610 unit I installed the OS on. The Intel video display driver had to be re-installed "using the recommended settings". The ATI video chip required no special attention and worked right away on the reboot.

My Dell D610 is a 2.0Ghz and I have 1GB DDR-2 RAM. I installed Windows 7 with update, the screen size shows 1024 x 768 true color (32 bits) and 60hz.

I couldn't started the windows DVD maker it shows error with video driver, if I play the game then the whole system and screen are freezed. My Dell D610 video is Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family. Please let me know what video driver I should use and where I can download it.
