Sorry, I misspoke. I didn't mean that you couldn't use a DC in XP, but there are issues with it. They were supposed to be solved and those upgrades are available in SP3 but I never heard if everything all got fixed. 'Cause I was going to build a PC until I realized that you could get a refurb for cheaper and one thing I was researching was the compatibility of XP and DC processors, to decided if I wanted to buy one or stick with SC.
