    rofl.. building a laptop... very very expensive lmao.. just go freaking buy one.. and ask someone to lend you a copy of window xp instead then? and then download drivers off the manufacture website.. if your too lazy.. just ask the manufacture for one and see does it support your computer.. some laptop doesn't support window xp anymore just to let you know.. since they don't have drivers for window xp -tongue2

    o that :D but still... building cost more than buying now.. like intel quad core from dell.. price range from $350-$699... building it yourself cost like $700+..

    dell started to sell inspirons with xp again http://www.dell.com/content/products/features.aspx/winxp_inspndt?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs

    last resort is if you shell out the money to buy windows ultimate you can ask them to give you the xp install cd because the license for ultimate is the same as buying win xp

    Take a look at some private, less well known companies, they should still have plenty of XP stock and need to sell it out anyway.

    why not make your own desktop and install xp as your windows. If not, reformat the new desktop and install xp once you get it.

    ProjectD VIP yay :]

    if you have the cash i recommend jus getting a mac and instaling xp... otherwise just build your own computer and put xp in it

    here, I just build my own PC, get XP with sp3 from net. it run beautifully, update from microsoft as normal. love XP - hate Vista. I did tryout all versions of Vista; but come back to Xp eventually.
     
  20. sp3 is crap.... and XP is just more stable and more everything friendly... vista are for the users that don't know what the hell they are doing with computers and may install shit all over the place....
