siddanth3 is an unknown quantity at this point

Unhappy cannot install vista.. got a dell mobo

ok, here's the problem guys. me and 4 other friends went and bought vista ultimate just to try something new. it worked in 3 of my friends computers which they built it them selves.. but for me and my other friend, it didnt work. the only reason my friends could give me was because we both have dell computers. i dont know what the problem is, but according to my friends, the dell bios is not letting me install a third party software. my comp is not fully dell, it was at one point but i have upgraded almost everything except the cpu and mobo. i dont think its got anything to do with the cpu. my mobo is intel but is from dell. so my friends are trying to persuade me to buy a new mobo so that vista can be installed.
i dont know if it would work if i get a new mobo
i have no problem buying a new mobo if i can be sure that this would work, but i just dont want to waste money on the mobo and later find out that vista doesnt work again

so friends, any advise for me,
i will appreciate it a lot
thanks
