Dell is the one now seen offering XP as well as Vista when you specify just what you want. This is their latest effort to compete seen there. You may be able to have it put on for a service charge and cost of a recovery disk at HP by request. But it wouldn't be free there. With the 32bit version Home Premium here as a second OS I get the chance to get familiar with it while still having XP as the primary OS. But this is on a custom not prebuilt. HP and pthers use name brand memory simply relabeled. This way you usually have to buy from them when adding or replacing. It's an old trick seen there.
You will want the same unless buying all new with a name of the exact same type and speed. Knowing the make and model board and finding the actual specifications on that will go better for you. Some boards won't allow memory with fast timings better then a Latency of something like 4-4-4-6 or whatever for example there while boards you would order at newegg will take performance as well as value ram.
