that sounds really good, and he's right about AMD - the thing with AMD is, as I've read, they're better for gaming because theyre substantially cheaper than Intel - the problem is theyre also more apt to have issues. Not many, but the basic idea is to pay a little more for Intel & not have to worry about stability issues. I've been using Intel for years and have never had a problem.
XP Pro is better for netoworking than XP Home but via Windows updates you're supposed to get shit that makes both OS's the "same" - yet some places still charge you more for Pro over Home so I'm not sure if thats them gouging or if in fact there are still subtle differences between the two. I've used Pro since day one, and also no problems with it since.
That sounds like a really good deal, good luck with it.
