    Okay sense I prefer the looks and I am used to the computer. I have a Windows XP Home Edition it says. Now theres home edition, professional edition, professional x64 edition, etc. So I was wondering what else there was of (xp)? And also what is the difference, like what is the difference between them? And Wat the heck is x64? I thought it was like a computer that was half what I had lol ? Also another thing is I was wondering if I could put like XP professional on my home edition (I got very little specs but If I added RAM I didn't know if it was possible? Also where can I buy a disk of Windows XP Home Edition? Cant find this on microsoft :(

    XP Pro is a bit safer than the Home Edition.
    You could look on eBay for the disks. They have full retail and OEM versions all the time.

    I d be affraid of not getting a "legit copy" I was reading in other thread about how people were using a disk for more then one computer. Can you burn a microsoft disk onto some other kind of disk? Also The only difference isn't whats in (like specs more ram and etc..) its just more safer?

    Pretty much what happens when you burn an .ISO file for Linux.
    You can be pretty confident from eBay,especially if the seller has had lots of sales and has a really high feedback rating.Something like 99.5% or better is what I look for.

    Well lets hope its not scratched:) I see some with sp 2 and 3 and thats just those updates that they done right? And if so.. and I got a sp2 once I installed it... It would pop up saying to update to sp3? or no and go with the sp3?

    If you get a disk that has SP3 already installed, you're good to go.
    Its the updating to SP3 from SP2 that causes some people problems.Can always roll it back if that happens.Stuck with SP3 if preinstalled.But a better deal.
