    I cant decide the different parts, but i can answer your questions at the end.

    I actually came across this not long ago. You can use your previous Win XP in a new computer. Here's what you do:

    1. Pop your Win XP CD in, boot with it.
    2. Choose to repair it.
    3. It will ask you for your Serial, and all that stuff, so it is re-registered to your new computer.
    4. you have all your old files and most settings.

    that's how you would do it.

    Well ya see, I dont have the XP disc...the stupid mofo's who upgraded my computer for me ended up not giving it to me...grr..Unless my dad just has it really well hidden but I think he said he doesnt have it...

    and btw, I dont want you guys to choose like the #1 best of each category if you cant, just tell me which ones I need to remove cuz they arent as good as another and I will to narrow it down a bit..

    Ahh thanks Red Alert...
    I think I'll go with the 3700 instead of the 3800...why?
    -3800:
    2.4 GHz
    512kb Cache
    -3700:
    2.2 GHz
    1mb Cache

    I think overall the 3700 is better...

    Thanks dude..
