This is a PIII mobile at 1.13gig. 256 meg ram. Just two months old. I'm not having any problems, and I don't really know what the advantages would be with the upgrade. Just from reading the install instructions it seems to be an involved process, so I know I'm letting myself in for a day of tweaking.

Since the box is so new, installed software is no problem, and I plan to save all my data to zips. The question again is are the advantages in xp worth it?

Thanks and Be well...

I really cant answer that one. I kind of tune out anything that doesn't involve application hosting or file server features. The only new features I saw was the multi-button in one button, IE6 will define a word for you from the web if you highlight and thats about it. Im sure there are many more... someone else here should be able to say what the other new features are. And hopefully they can answer whether or not it really is as doggish as it seems.

sorry couldnt be more help!

FWIW, I'd stick with Win2K Pro if I was you. Like I just told the poster, I'm using it on a high-end ThinkPad, two IBM IntelliStations (including a 1.7 GHz P4 with 512MB RAM, loaded up with all the goodies, etc., etc.), and an IBM TransNote (cute little beastie). It's just damned solid, in my experience. I've looked at XP and see no reason on earth to upgrade to it. Stay put; you have a nice system just as it is. :)
