WIn XP. Memory size recommendation?

Re: re:

Personally I have found XP extremely reliable.

Easy install and setup of everything I've needed to use - and guess what I didn't need a friggin C compiler or linker once no matter what add-on hardware I've used. Nor did I need to spend all night buggering about with strange config files full unintelligible junk 10 levels down in the file system. Maybe you linux nerds get a hard on playing about trying to make your computers work - I don't so I stick to products that just work out of the box - sadly from past experience that does not include ones with pictures of a penguin on them.

Re: XP and where to get it

Fairplay - Quite a few retailers will sell an OEM copy, but you have to prove your a system builder... this is usually done by buying a HDD at the same time.

I know this is how my company has been upgrading to XP over the last few months.

Its only really cheaper if you need more disk space... but then who with a broadband connection doesn't need a bigger drive
