The XP Home upgrade is about $100. If you're a student, you should be able to get XP Pro for $87, worst price (Newegg).
If you have, or can upgrade to, 256MB (or more) of RAM, XP will run smoothly.

I often wondered if ME was as bad as everyone said, but recently I've gotten into a few ME based PCs, and yeah, they really are that bad. Win2k and XP get you spoiled.
