I have been using XP on my new homebrew machine for about 3 weeks now...

I hate to say it, but I am very impressed...

In the end I paid about �550 all in for an Athlon XP2800+ system (in a cool chieftec Blue Dragon case) with all the goodies (including SATA, USB2 etc etc). It has been totally reliable and much quicker at my graphic design stuff than my old G4 based Powermacs (Inc the dualies!).

There are some things I really miss about OS X, but surprisingly some things in XP I really like too (filmstrip view of folders containing graphics and picsm is plain cool...)

Overall I can put up with a few 'hick-ups' on my XP box because it cost me much, much less than even an eMac of much inferior spec here in the UK, and is for my needs more than fast enough...

Peace,

Marc
