Ok I got XP Pro up and running.
No real problems currently.
But a few concerns:
I've ran Prime95 to stress-test the box. It runs for an hour or two and then it just crashes. The system doesn't crash, just the program. I've ran it twice and it seems to do it at the same spot. No other software is running.
Also, the boot time isn't the greatest. The Intel BIOS splash screen shows up and disappears quickly, but the time between that and the XP Screen w/ the progress bar is a good 5-7 seconds or so. Not a huge deal, but I figured it would be quicker than that.
Other than that, I've been very happy with everything.
If I could get any advise on the listed concerns, I would appreciate it.
Here's my specs if it helps:
Pentium 4 2.4GHz 800Mhz Bus w/ HT enabled
1GB RAM
120GB HD w/ 8MB cache
currently has a 64MB GeForce256, but with be swapped out later w/ Matrox card
XP Pro w/ SP1
