Thanks very much for the info. 

This helps because firstly i needed to know if a stable XP server is
even possible.

When you say base OS install, i assume you mean a SP1 install? I will
be using the basic SP1 XP Pro install.

I have always been careful with hardware selection - this is not a
cheap box either. Abit mobo generally considered one of the best for
stability. Matrox graphics again, stable. No sound card. This is a bare
but quality system (it used to be my desktop machine - 2GHz Athlon).

I am going to rebuild it with a fresh XP Pro install. And leave it at
that, just as a file server with no slimserver, no nothing - and see
how it goes. I do have to use a Netgear rangemax wireless card though,
that driver may be dodgy.

It won't take long to see if the box can stay up for long enough(!).
