if you do this, you'll get great results if you install the minimal 
software you can, NEVER run Explorer or Outlook (promise me this!) or 
even never attach it to the net at all except to run the Windows 
update packages.  I did this more or less and my rather slow cheap PC 
has continued to run smoothly for over a year with no maintenance.
