I will admit that hardware manufactures are getting sloppy with their work. Both Intel and AMD. Its just luck of the draw. I never did like Foxconn either.

I find it just the opposite.
I find that their S939 boards are complete crap and their Intel boards are quite superior. However, their tech support completely blows.

Mine is DFI. If I cant get my hands on a DFI board, then its either Abit, Gigabyte, or Asus if i really have to.

Mine is a ASUS Socket AM2 6100. But from the reviews on newegg (Almost 50~70% are under 3 stars..) they just seem like crap.

Actually, with the use of 64bit addressing, it does use a little more memory, just due to the way the addressing works out, especially in 32bit apps, but the difference is insignificant to performance.
Hello,
If you are running any version of Windows XP currently, you can get the Windows Vista Home Basic upgrade for only $40.50

I cant get XP installed and I think that requires a non-OEM copy.

if you use your xp key thats on your COD sticker on your dell, you can use any xp version you want as long as its home to home or pro to pro version. (you cant use a xp pro key on xp home)
find one of your friends with a oem version of xp so its free of all that bundled crap your dell cd has and copy the cd. you now have a windows install disk. the key is what your buying when you buy xp so while copying the cd is technically wrong you are not stealing anything as long as you have your own license key.
if you motherboard has issues with installing sp2 (my old soyo board would lock up every time) then microsoft has patches you can download to make all motherboards work with the sp2 download.

Wait, so you have both a pre-service pack normal install disc, and a dell disc? If so, just use nLite to integrate SP2 into the normal disc.
