Once you get the XP machine, plug the MB full of RAM and a new faster hard drive, and install Win 7 on it. That should help a lot. Then put Win 7 on your Son's new computer once he gets tired of Win 8.
LOL my XP 'puter has 2 gigs of ram (full) and 512 of V-ram (best card available that'll fit the AGP MB).
He's already got a dual core machine with a 2 gig of v-card and 4 gigs of RAM, maybe I should just get him a new OS and get ME a faster machine.

I kinda hate to do that though, it's only 10 years old and there's plenty of life left in the old girl.....
