FYI XP isnt' supported anymore, if you have that old of a system you should consider a new one. New POCs start as low as $249 at Walmart for either a desktop or laptop. Gaming capable systems are starting at $700 or more to be able to run games 'like I see on the internet". If your that cash strapped MOSTLY every game is available on Console, which PS3/Xbox is only $149 and still going strong.
