hi all, im losing my mind with this.........i want to make sure i can get what i need before i build my first system.....
i want windows xp home edition......i see it all over for about 85 bucks but is always the oem version. I want the retail version n case my hard drive takes a dump or i want to install on 2nd pc. I also dont want to spend alot, im sure we all feel that it shouldnt be that uch money and nobody likes lining microsofts pockets.....i have found xp home retail for 88 bucks, but no service packs.....so im trying to see if i can get that and then download sp1 an 2 (i dont want sp3, as ive had a few problems with that on another system and had to delete it)....anyway i cant seem to find the downloads...? i see something called internet explorer sp1 download on the ms website but i dont think that is whatim looking for......does anyone know where i can d/l sp1 and sp2 for free...?
