Cleaned out the HP Pavilion 7955 that had seen better days inside and out: dust and cat hair everywhere, put on new thermal grease on the CPU, installed the GeForce 6200 card, an additional 256MB SD-RAM, pushed the power button after hooking up the keyboard and mouse combo, and it booted into Windows XP Home Edition with SP2, and the last time it was used was back in early November of 2014.
Has personal data on it, so recovering the drive won't be a challenge, but I don't have any spare Ethernet cables or wireless cards. Should I still stick with XP? It'll also be used as a video editing computer since I believe it comes with special software.
