I'm looking at a new PC and would prefer to run XP.

re: chips, any differences between the duo and quad-core intels as the specs seem very similar?

If you’re emailing, web surfing, looking at and editing photos, or playing games, most probably, you would do better to max out your RAM rather than get the faster CPU.

If you’re doing video editing, transcoding, simulations, etc. You want to get the quad core *and* max out your RAM.
