what are your system specs?
CPU speed, amount of memory etc.....
The following is from microsofts website:
"Here's What You Need to Use Windows XP Home Edition
• PC with 300 megahertz (MHz) or higher processor clock speed recommended; 233-MHz minimum required;* Intel Pentium/Celeron family, AMD K6/Athlon/Duron family, or compatible processor recommended

• 128 megabytes (MB) of RAM or higher recommended (64 MB minimum supported; may limit performance and some features)

• 1.5 gigabyte (GB) of available hard disk space.*

• Super VGA (800 × 600) or higher resolution video adapter and monitor

• CD-ROM or DVD drive

• Keyboard and Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device"

Although they say minimum 300MHz CPU, I personally wouldn't install it on anything less than a 750.

Hope this helps.


Sorry I didn't actually answer your question. About £75 for an OEM version of XP home.

Hi clanger,

I hope that you don't mind, but I am going to move your thread over to the techie board, where you may get more replies.

£59 for OEM xp home here: http://www.softwaregalaxy.co.uk/ just the first link from google so probably better offers to be had if you're willing to dig a little.

I'm not sure how much the postage is on software galaxy as it wanted me to sign up before they tell you.

E-Buyer is £62.56 delivered.

I've used them a few times for the same product and was very happy.
