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).

THanks for the input guys. I appreciate it, very informative.

Imoapie as far as how well business is going it has ups and downs, just like any other market. I spend alot of time researching potential houses as wells as the houses environment. Meaning, if other houses in the area are less than average, then fixing the house up, selling it, and making a profit can be hard. On average, after all expenses are paid (realtor and materials to make the house "liveable") we have made a profit. Me and my 2 friends stand to make a few thousand each for each sale. At this point in time, that is all I want. I can only get out of it what I put into it. Ultimately, the goal is to buy low and sell high.

Well back to the reading.

THanks,
