Old applications which I need to do work with only work on it.

Hats off to you using Windows XP in 2018! I thought i held out for awhile skipping Vista and going to 7 after numerous patches, but you are keeping that flame alive.

Although that video of a Windows XP machine being hacked by Vlad in about 20 mins of joining the internet is not exactly confidence building.

I do have a sealed copy of Windows XP Home if you are interested...

Thats nothing. I'm using a 775 motherboard from 2006 I picked up for £20. People don't realise how rare this form factor with those slots is:



Its efficient , 170 x 170mm. and it runs PR great (except for mistake seen in post #1 but thats easy to fix: make more room )



A snippet of research. A preview of whats to come
