I'm looking for an online store that sells win xp really cheap $60-$85. Any thoughts?


my problem lies in that the dell oem xp cd that came with the computer doesn't like the new mobo/cpu i installed it on. It rejects the product key and wants to be activated.


New hardware-
mobo and cpu
hdd


same-
video card, cd-rom, ram, and floppy

Hey crazy4laptops!!



I have found at Newegg a couple that would fit your budget.

If you don't live in the States then you're outaluck.

Newegg, XP Home .



And there is also TigerDirect but, about 4 bucks too much.

TigerDirect XP Home .



That's all I could find. That doesn't mean that there are no other places to still get XP.

If it was the CD that came from Dell, it may be looking for a Dell signature in the BIOS, that of course is not there. The referenced XP SP2 OEM Home is the cheapest alternative.

xp home on ebay for $30

You better hope it hasn't been activated.

Hi Crazy. If you are going to bid on this auction, please send me a PM with a link to the auction. I have spent enough time in eBay to give you a good idea of what you may be getting into.
