BE WARNED: YOU CAN'T EVEN BUY XP SP2 FULL FOR MUCH LONGER! It will stop being sold by Microsoft sometime in June so GET IT NOW if you don't already have it... XP FULL (not the upgrade) is CLOSE to Vista and needed for the POWER of the machine, but I took my Vista OFF and was so glad to buy the retail (ouch!!) $200 xp full just in time... Microsoft is ignoring the petitions and near riots and going to FORCE Vista on the world... so best to buy XP SP 2 FULL NOW even if you can't get a machine for it yet... !!
I guess when it is gone, I will update as long as it is supported that way, then RELY on my hard ware and software firewalls and always updates anti-virus programs to keep my machine safe... there is no excuse for MS to be doing this to it's own customers... sigh... always big brother complexes with big businesses??
My machine specs are on this page:
