No way to know that from your original question, sorry! Got some specs?
(Usually OLD laptops & new Pro Tools installs don't work out very well, but that's over-generalizing things. Need to see some system specs to be sure.)

Well I've got LE 7.4 for VIsta and I'm looking for something from here

http://ireland.dell.com/ie/en/home/L...=iedhs1&~ck=mn

that might work with an MBOX 2 Pro using firewire connection.

Dells are notoriously bad with firewire for Pro Tools. You will need a qualified controller with a TI chip on board. A second hard drive will be needed for session files and audio.

Go with Tom said and IMO forget about dell. The low low quality firewire chipset that dells have onboard is only for lan applications and will not work with audio period,believe me.
