Hi: I don't mean to be oversimplistic, but the best way to get a computer with XP might be to just find one on clearance at an electronics or mail order store. It doesn't have to be a Del, it could be an HP, Toshiba, or Sony, which I have, just to nhame a few. We really don't need super computers. I'm perfectly happy with my Sony Vaio. It's the only computer I have. There is tech support for the well-known companies. My husband, the computer whiz, says that he's heard of Del being snotty like that before if you don't want to buy their computers with their exact specs. Even if you have to pay somebody a few dollars to assist you, it's going to probably be cheaper in the long run.
