Athlonxp/ O/S
Stupid Question but does it matter if I have win2000pro o/s and Iget the Athlon xp cpu. I guess the stupid part of the ? is do you need winxp for it to work properly

The Athlon XP and Win XP are in no way related (except fot the two letters, of course). An Athlon XP will work fine with any OS.

Yep. The Athlon XP works ok. I think it just mean Extreme Performance or something (got to look that up! ).
