u can get an educational version of xp somewhere for a lot cheaperIn parts you can build a computer with 256meg of ram and a celeron D processor (1.5gHz) and an 80 gig HD, $99 OEM XP home edition and it comeso ut to roughly $270 shipped to your house. If you can build that you really cant get any better for any cheaper.
The POS Dells that run the cheapo pentium 4's are about the same processing speed, same ammount of ram, smaller HD, and cost at least $100 more //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
