Thank you all for your input. I shall use it to my best computing fun. As for the XP thing the fact is I already have it and it was highly recommended by the man that I buy all my equipment from here in town but if there are any serious concerns about it please let me know. I will definately be getting a 400W PS as I do believe that it will be a boon for this system. (Got the case for $100 so I ain't really complaining.) And yes Kid I am buying myself a present because I have to take care of myself too. (Have 5 kids and a very extended family.) LOL. You guys are the best. Am hanging out for awhile tonight so maybe we will meet up elsewhere. May the computer gods grant you all a happy holiday season. :)
