I just ordered a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop. It comes with XP Home, but one
of the options was Media Center. I'm wondering if the hardware (mostly the
display adapter) can support Media Center... it's listed as Integrated Intel
Media Accelerator 900.

I'm planning on nuking the hard drive and installing either XP Pro or Media
Center, and if the display supports Media Center, then I'll go ahead and
install that and plan on getting a USB tuner for it someday.

I'm aware it's not listed in the approved display adapters list, but seem to
recall someone here saying it would work...

Dana,
Last week I went to the Intel Web site at another users request and found
that Intel states that MCE is one of the operating systems supported by the
900 chip. Since Intel and MS have been working so hard together on MCE
roadmap to the future I was not surprised.
