Which part of Windows XP or Windows Vista which are clearly written on the box, was difficult to understand?

Do you answer all your posts with such a sarcastic manner? Maybe someday when I reach 4624 posts on this forum, I can reply the same way.
Yes, I agree with you that I made a mistake and should of checked out the requirements a little better. Maybe when you look and see someone new with very few posts, you might cut him a little slack in the future. But,I do thank you for your quick reply
Rest assured that I cut you more slack than I cut myself. I can assure you that if I did that, the names I would be calling myself could not be posted here.

Ok, like I said, I should of done my homework a little better. Thank you again.
A suggestion. If you can wait a couple of months and if your system will run it, you might want to wait for Vista, rather than installing XP at this point.

Check and see if you can upgrade 2000 to XP home.
Search for an OEM version.

I would (as Crash said) wait for Vista in 2 months. January 30th.
Can your system handle Vista?

I wasn't aware you could get an OEM version for a Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition (Version Upgrade)

It appears now that you are actually talking about a FULL version rather than an UPGRADE version.
Since the OP is already running 2000Pro on his system, I see no reason why he cannot upgrade to XP.
