I worked at Wal-mart when I got this as a Christmas gift to myself. Wal-mart gives a one-time 20% discount on one item during the Holidays so I used my discount for this computer. This computer has been great. It was pre-loaded with XP shortly after XP came out. The only problem I see with it is it's loaded with just 256MB of RAM, which by today's standards is very very low. So I had to upgrade that shortly after I bought it. Other than that's it's been very reliable and is almost 3 Ghz. It's got a celeron processor, good processor for the money but obviously not the best I could get. Overall I'm very happy with it, it's given me no problems that I can think of. But since it is about 4 years old, I think it's time to start looking for another one soon. I just prefer Xp over Vista :)
