    I run my desktop WMC disc on my Acer 3003LC - its got 756MB RAM and shares 64MB of that for my graphics & it works fine & it runs much more stable than XP Home ( fully updated ) ever did on the Acer which forever crashed so i'd say go ahead, the Acer is the bottom base model, make sure you have enough RAM though 512 is not enough XP needs that as a basic. WMC edition needs slightly more
    SO... now England its the Scots turn to say dont leave the UK, stay in Europe with us in the UK, dont let the tories fool you like they did us with empty lies... You will be leaving the UK aswell as Europe ;)
