    I asked it on the sticky above, but havent got a reply and i needed one asap
    OK, so i have an xp home. given the option to get a full xp pro version, retail 300 or so, for 91 bucks. If i was to get it, on my laptop, what RAM would be needed to run that exceptionally well and how the heck would i reformat my computer?

    There's a reformat thread in software already, give that a look. It explains how to reformat/reinstall Windows.

    It's only worth it if you are networked and/or need to join a Windows domain.

    For $91, I'd put a down payment on an XBOX 360, it's a complete waste of money on XP Pro unless you need it.
