XP is fine. I'm using XP Home on mine. Linux is the best choice, but I have not learned it yet even though I have one or two copies of it somewhere. You won't really want Linux unless you are a true geek. Linux isn't easy; it requires commands and experience with a few other operating systems to really know how to use it.
Cox is here too, they do have 5 megabit connections, which is about 625 KB/s max download. Upload is slower @ 768 kbps or 96 KB/s. We thought about switching to that, but the lady said that $55 is the promotional discount for 3 months and then they charge $80 a month, me not like that...
You can call and ask about Cox's Business services. You can see what they have available for what you would want to spend a month (this would be if you were looking to spend $60-90 a month).
When overclocking the CPU, be cautious. Only up the voltage to the core if you really need to and also you may not want to exceed the RAM's bus speed which would cause system instability with many ram chips. A full copper heatsink is necessary for overclocking as well as a fan that moves lots of air. Good case cooling is a must whether or not you overclock (for a server at least).
