upgrade price. Is it worth it? It's a good question without a nice simple,

XP versions is positive. That means most people will get more benefits than

systems lockups of other Windows versions. The lockups, or crashes, are
usually caused by memory protection problems brought on by different software
applications trying to use the same blocks of memory at the same time.
