Company Slacker

I grabbed an OEM version of Windows XP SP2 for $80 off EBay. Installation was pleasantly easy.  Windows didn’t automatically configure my DSL as Linux will, but  I was able to set it up easy enough.

Turned off the annoying windows firewall and replaced with Sygate with not a hitch.  Installed CachemanXP  as a replacement for AnalogX’s MaxMem, which I frankly am quite impressed with. 

Since I’m using Firefox I’m not too worried about spyware but I still use Lavasoft’s Ad-Aware SE paired with the slow but reliable Clam Antivirus.

So damn nice playing my favorite games with the extra 512 MB ram!
