Here's a good read on resources. XP loves ram. It uses it more efficiently than previous operating systems. You would probably be happy with any processor running over 1 to 2 ghz and load up on ram instead. aumha.org Here's a couple of links about the differences in XP Home and Pro. microsoft.com winnetmag.com JMO, but I see no need to worry about the 64 bit processor for a while. As far as I know, there are very few (or none) apps that the normal user runs that take advantage of it. I could be wrong about that but that's what I have read. I'm running an AMD Athlon 1900 with 512 DDR. I'd love to have one of the latest and greatest but what can I do with them that I can't do with what I have? Do I really need Excel or Adobe to open or close a few milli-seconds faster?
