    Family Dell machine is dying. Going to get either a Zotec thing, or an upgrade kit.

    Don't use the machine for anything much, so going to pop XP onto it. Thought I'd check if I could get a legit copy of XP 1st, though. Yup, I know I could get one from my "american cousins", but I'm actually looking for a legit version. Don't really care what version of XP, so Home Premium, etc, should do.

    Usually they have an OEM version of XP that will only install on that soft of motherboard. As for just getting a machine off adverts.ie for a replacement of the current family machine, meh - the current machine seems slow, and most of the other cheap machines will be just as old. May as well get new hardware, and pop it together.
