Review by Stephen Matesowicz

I installed XP Pro a couple weeks ago on a new machine I just built. Installed like a dream. It runs a smooth as can be and the ability it has with photos and video is amazing. I still use my other 2 ¹⁄₂ year old computer running ME for things. But I know I will be upgrading that on to XP Home. But will do a clean install. that is the best way to go. Running anything other then XP on this new one would have been a waste of my money. P4 2.6Ghz. H/T tech. 1 Gb dual channel ram. 2 Western Digital 120 Gb HDD. DVD rom drive and soon a new DVD burner. I now have a DSL connection. Setting that up took minutes on this machine. On the other machine hooking up a new v. 92 56k modem last year under ME took 2 days to get things working right. My son and his friend both upgraded to XP home last year. Both did a clean install. Both machines are much more stable now. I’ve had my ME machine freeze as many as 5 times in a day. Always got it up and running again but it was still a pain. I stay up will all updates and maintanance and it would still give me grief. If your running ME make the move to XP.
