Question by Sock Monkey: Should I buy a laptop with XP on it for all my 95, 98 and XP games?
I’ve noticed that even though Windows Vista backfired it’s now pre-installed on desktops and laptops on sale. Most of them don’t even offer the option of installing XP, even if I’d want to customize it. Seeing that most XP games (the good ones anyway that really made history like The Sims 2 and Doom 3) won’t work on Vista, I was thinking of buying a laptop for all my Windows games because I have such a huge collection, especially for the XP OS. I’m looking for a laptop with around a 100 GB to 160 GB and a good graphics card. Possibly like an NVIDIA Geforce 6000 or 7000 (along those lines, not the exact make). Will these machines be priced from 400 to 600 dollars? Or are they bound to go over with these configurations? But I don’t know if this is more cost efficient than just buying the XP installation CD (mine didn’t come with the machine, how stupid). Please advise me. I know pretty soon Vista will catch on fast, and very few machines will even offer to XP. Thanks a lot in advance!

If you want a spec like that with a decent graphics card, it will cost much more than 600$
