Yeah, I'm still kind of worried that XP Pro won't utilize the dualcore processor well...

Yeah, I don't think I need I the TrueControl as long as the one without it will work fine. Thanks for the info on that. There was one thing that concerned me suddenly. I'm having trouble finding out which windows operating system I should use to best utilize my dualcore processor...I know that most ...
