Ok I'm on an older operating system and was wondering if it is wise for me to update it or just go ahead and in stall a newer operating system. Running Windows 2000 Pro version. Was wanting to update it to Windows Xp Home edition SP2. Right now I'm using an older computer but it runs great. I'm going to give you some info on what I'm using so you can tell me what is better choice to go with. I have been told not to update if the following reasons it is faster to use 2000 bc it is used for server type computers and office type is it better to stay with it or go ahead and up date to new one. What is better choice.

System Model 6288BVU
System Type X86-Based PC
Processor x86 Family 6 model 6 stepping 5 GenuineIntel ~528MHZ
BIOS Version IBM BIOS VER NXKT33.0

How do I find that out where do I go to?

What happened is I have a Dell laptop and so that OS was already installed. Then I installed the CD into another compaq ghetto computer and I need the product key, but it wont take any product key it needs the one of that disc. I used that because the other disc I was using had it for any pc instead for dell, but that was too scratched up and caused fatal errors in installation. You didn't have to read this paragraph I'm just explaining why on the side.

So far we have Newbie, but we would like names from 0-15 posts, 16-40, 41-65,66-100, 101-200, 300+ , but we are interested in any general ranking titles.

Thanks for the help. :D

I am finding questions that people have given too much information to one person and have ended up being stalked. A lot of the more naive internet users out there don't realize that what little information is required to track someone down and what is available.

I would like everyone to input on what ways people can protect themselves. I hope people that read this, take our advice and take the necessary precautions.

I have heard too many stories about people being cyberstalked and even stalked IRL. I feel we need to remind those who are oblivious to the dangers on the internet and help them protect themselves.

As dissapointing as it is my new house doesn't support cable, so ill have to get DSL (sigh) ive had highspeed forever, and im so unfamiliar with DSL, what exactly is it, and how much slower is it than highspeed, or does that depend on the carrier service? I know its a telephone line, so does this mean I can't recieve calls if im on the internet or something? normally im good with stuff like this, but ive never had dsl, so help!!
