New OS

[Wulf190]

Well I gave my friend my disk of XPpro, he needed to use it to repair his current copy. Only I haven't gotten it back yet, no biggie hes been busy.

But I've been thinking, would it be a good idea to get a new Copy of XP pro with SP3? My Current disk only has SP2 so it takes along time to update my PC when I reformat and I also have to call India yto activate it, which is annoying (but not much of a pain). Or Should I try XP 64bit? I am not interested at all in Vista....


Just thinkin....

I wouldn't fool with XP 64. Just get XP Pro with SP3 and you should be good to go for a while.

Gotcha. I'll wait for Windows 7 before jumping on the 64bit OS bandtrain.

I agree with David on bypassing XP64 and sticking with 32-bit & SP3. So far I haven't had any problems with XPPro SP3 on two machines.
I'm mucking about with Vista64 on one rig and while it's better than XP64 for finding drivers and getting software to work it's still a pain in the butt.
