Yea best to stick with XP now for gaming, and make sure you do a fresh install of windows on that new PC you get, its worth it believe me.

so will i have to buy a new version of windows???(another copy)

Well yea, unless you have another disc lying around somewhere that isn't being used.

dang.
so there goes another $100

Yup, maybe you should save some more before you buy the computer

i would have the pc done in like 2 years.
i dont wanna wait that long.
hmmm.
i could chain download 60 day trials of xp for free.
and its not illegal..

Best to save the hassle and find a cheap copy of xp home somewhere
