Crap, the only retail stor I have found that still sells WXP is here
http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/7744...vice/#reviewTab But it doesnt say if its 64 bit or not! I think i have a friend who has WXP pro, 64 bit. Do copies of xp have like license restrictions? like one per computer? o wait. I check newegg. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16832116378 When using a 64 bit os, do 42 bit programs still work? Like can mozzila firefox, filezilla, gimp and any other programs that work on 32 bit work on 64 bit? And if im upgrading from vista 64 bit to windows xp pro 64 bit do you think there will be incompatibility problems? And would I have to download drivers and stuff. |

That's more of a sidegrade than an upgrade.

.013%. You can rarely upgrade anything other than the RAM, HDD, or disk drive in premade computers.
But that's a good processor. You shouldn't need to replace it. |

I was wanting to get a processor with atleast 3ghz. i want this to be the last computer upgrade I do for a while. and ill have windows xp on it so it will fly either way. |

With a Pentium dual core, you're not going to see a major difference between 2.6 and 3 GHz.

Honestly man, if you just want the experience of building a computer you shoudl really think about what kind of options you want.
Here are a few articles that will help you decide: how many cores do you really need? http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/multi-core-cpu,2280.html CPU preformance charts: http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/processors,6.html best bang for buck graphics Apr 09' http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon...e-gtx,2270.html how much ram is too much? http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/memory...grade,2264.html Tom's HDD guide 2008 http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/hdd-te...e-1tb,2077.html Just keep in mind, that even the most graphics intensive games do not need top of the line hardware. Most high-end hardware is overkill. Buy what you need or build around a budget for the most bang for buck.
