Hello,

I am looking to buy a new computer but am stuck buying a
rack mounted 1U server because of the physical conditions
of the area.

Can anyone tell me if Windows XP is compatible with a Dell
PowerEdge 750 Server. Here are the config details.

I wanted an opinio from someone experienced with WinXP
before I continue with the purchase.

Please email replies to rachel@columbia.edu
