Acer Aspire 7520 / 5520 XP Drivers! I found them!

I recently took the plunge and bought myself a 17" screen laptop - After searching the net I found an amazing deal Tesco's are doing...  £399.00 for the Acer Aspire 7520 Gemstone (Although its not actually listed as a gemstone on the acer website, it certainly looks like the ones in the pictures.)  Now whats great about this apart from the initial price is they were offering triple club card points, which means if you get those club cards points - it works out around £50+ off your shopping!! So in theory you actually get the laptop for around £349.99 which is an absolute steal!  They seemed to have stopped the Triple clubcard offer now, but you can use this promotional code and hopefully get the triple points with the order..

Anyway the reason for this post is that the laptop comes with Vista (Which is too memory hungry for only 1gb of ram), so I installed Windows XP Pro to find that Acer only show the Vista drivers on their website and not the XP Drivers!!! So after two hours of hunting the internet, and Acers FTP site I found the buggers!!  So to save everyone else the hassle I had heres the direct link to all the windows XP Drivers for the Acer Aspire 7520 Laptop
