My new one will have XP. I COULD get XP on this one:

Pentium 4 1.3GHz
512MB RAM
40Gig Hard Drive
GeForce 2 MX 32MB Video Card <--There's the breaking point

But XP and a brand new video card is all it needs really to be decent again. Why don't I just do that?

There's still the issue of sharing. We're both going to need a computer for school work and he will get prefrence because he's the younger child. And he will take forever and goof off too.

When I want to do work I want to be able to jump on and go. Not wait a single second. With a brother I gotta wait and it's just very inconvienent. I've had 2-3am nights that I could have been done by midnight if he didn't have school work.

So getting my own is my choice. That's when I stop caring about THIS one and let my brother just send it to hell "by accident". After spending hundreds on getting it in working order or needing me to fix it (I'll be really busy in college...I'll get around to it "soon" though) they should have a little more respect for me, technology wise.
