I lost the recovery cd for my laptop but i want to do a fresh install of the windows. Can i install the XP media center on the laptop? or it does not matter as long as it is installed in a pc (desktop or laptop)

If i install the xp will i need to install some type of program that will tell me about the battery life?

Thanks

EDIT

My laptop had a 256 Samsung DDR2 533 RAM when i got it but i added another OCZ 1GB 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 533. The thing is my laptop never used over 1GB of ram.

What i want to know is will my laptop perform better if i just take out the Samsung RAM? The two ram is from different company so i was thinking maybe it will make it perform slower.
