    The fact your in the states just means you have better delivery options then Ireland :)

    Your best bet is a OEM version of XP, should be cheap enoughg

    I don't want to see any discussion of any non-legal means for getting a copy of XP.

    Sorry for falsely assuming your were looking for pirate material. Your post could be (and has obviously) interpreted as someone looking for pirate copys.

    That should work fine. I don't see any mentions of it being an upgrade version so it must be the full version which is what you'll need.

    Good question here...

    Apple claim that you can't use an upgrade version because it's not possible to eject the CD during the text-based XP setup. If you used a USB CD-ROM drive to install would that work?
