You don't need a top of the line PC. In fact the minimum requirements are a 233MHZ processor with 64MB RAM. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2/sysreqs.mspx

Just don't expect it to be very fast unless you have good hardware. As for not being a reliable update, how so? How would it be more reliable?

If MS isn't for you, there's always the various different forms of Linux, DOS, OS2...not exactly a monopoly. [img]smile.gif[/img]
