I must admit this is what my gut feeling is. I guess I I was worried
about spending significantly more than I need to by doing it myself -
I'm on a *fairly* tight budget these days. But from what I'm reading

A few
people on this group can 'help' you source OEM WinXP licences too, at a
sensible cost.

Any chance of elaborating on this? I've seen it on sale for £80ish -
can I do better than that?

Thanks for the system details you provided. It'll provide me with a
good reference point for doing some research.
