I put this in the hardware section since i know Emacines have slightly different hardware settings so you can add your own. If this belongs on another section, let me know and sry mods.
Ok, heres the scenario. My girlfriend has a 800mhz, 128MB RAM,20gig HDD Emacine from best buy. (i know i know, she wasnt my gf when she got it, otherwise she wouldnt have it). Well its beaten since it never had a firewall and best buy did a dance on it, so its incredbily slow, wont even go online. So i figure ill upgrade it to winxp. Normally i wouldnt think there is a problem with this, but a few freinds have OEM computers, and they wont take XP sometimes. THey just freeze or whatever. The sites will say cannot run XP. I heard this from HP, a few emacines, and some other one. I dont want to go formatting her hard drive to find out i cant put XP on it. Only ME or 2k. 2k is nowhere near as bad as ME, but im just curious.
