Thanks for the heads up Jeff. The system that will ultimately get XP will
be the one I'm typing on. It's a PIII-700 and it's got 40 GB of disk and
384 MB of memory. Besides, by the time XP rolls out I may be at P-IV 1.5
GHz anyway.

Ron,
Don't mean to give you bad news but you are not going to install XP on a
PIII
333 and be very happy. Been running it in the lab at work for a month and it
wants a PIII 500 with 256 mb of memory just to stabilize. I can see why
intel is
banking on this XP to come out and boost sales of the PIV. Plus, unlike win
2K
this os seems to like to take up around 1.5gb of hard disk space. I have
been
testing both the consumer and buisness versions and there doesn;t seems to
be
much difference other than security. I would recommend if you want to go
that
route get ahold of win 2K professional and use that. It doesn't hog up as
much
disk space and it doesn't care about running on a PIII 333 as long as you
give
it at least 128 mb of memory.
