Hi, I have decided to buy a fast Windows XP machine. I don't know to to build one, and I have doubts about compatibility of my programs with Windows 7. So I was wondering if anyone here know of a reliable source where I can buy a XP gamiing desktop (I already tried Tiger Direct).

A friend told me that If I were to get the 64-bit XP disk I can load it on a powerful modern desktop that does not have an operating system. Is this true, or are there hidden pitfalls?

Thanks for your responses.
Sid
