I have an AMD Athlon XP sticker on the front of the desktop box but no

Ooookie doke. Thanks guys for the suggestions.
This handy dandy little thingy I downloaded is telling me my processor
runs at 1.67 gigahertz. It's old but faster than I thought it was. And
736 megs of RAM. So if XP Home requires about the same as XP Pro (the
link upthread says XP Pro needs 300 Megahertz clockspeed), I guess I'm
good to go.
I found XP Home -Full Version- (not OEM or Upgrade) New on
PriceGrabber dot com for about $90. Does that sound about right? I
was expecting a lower price for XP since Vista came out. But.. -shrug-

Thanks again,
Rick
