Thanks for the info on the Dell.
I will leave that as Win2K and migrate my main webserver onto that.

Will then get XP home for the other 2 PC's that I have to rebuild as I wont
be the main user of either of them. My Dell laptop came with XP Home and
the
only real disadvantage is that I can have IIS on that. When I replace it I
will go for one with XP Pro.

Regards

Keith
