    Depends on what PC you have
    Depends on what you want to run

    XP will probably be slower, if you don't have enough ram it will be signifigantly slower.

    A bit of info on the PC and what you hope it to do would help.
    Computer speeds go up by a factor of ten every five years, so if the machine was shipped with ME chances are it would WALK XP, not RUN it.

    What make / model

    In help about - how much memory , free hard drive space , what processor PII or PIII ?
