    Hi all

    I was just about to buy the Acer 5672, when i read that only Xp PRO supports the multi core processors. The XP home edition is a little cheaper than the PRO version when buying the 5672. I can get the XP PRO from school for free. How easy is it to do a clean install, and the re-installing all the drives from scratch. Is it just better to give up the extra money (i'd rather not) and order the PRO version? Some1 who has done a clean install of PRO, pls reply..

    Waiting to order the 5672
    THANX
