    WinXp System Restore, usefull?

    System restore is great. It was taken from winme so that means it got tested to death. If you are trying to save space then probably turn it off but if not then I would recommend you keep it on and running.

    The Best Performance laptop? What is it?

    JMc Wild, That by far is going to be the fastest laptop you can get your hands on currently. A secret though is you can find that system cheaper than on alienware.

    Can a Dell copy of Win XP be loaded on a non-Dell PC?

    Nope that wont fly either. In the oem eula the licensce (sp?) is specific to the mobo. You can change pretty much everything else but if you change the mobo you have to get a new key. Part of the activation string if I remeber includes mobo s# and bios s#

    Can a Dell copy of Win XP be loaded on a non-Dell PC?

    You can get around the bios specific easy but its not going to do much good since xp is licensed to the system and the xp is a oem version most likely. When you try to activate it you will have to call in and MS will tell you you cant activate it (or at least they should. If you get someone who...
