Well, I have a 5 year old Compaq (HP) with XP I use here. The only problem I have had was when the AC jack went south (User error). Other then that, it has been a workhorse here. I use it everyday.

It has a Celeron processor in it with 512 MB of Ram. I use it with no problems with BB, RB or PT. I paid about $500.00 for it when it was new.

I also have a new Dell with Vista laptop. I definitely prefer XP for recording with.
