You mean 100GB of disc space. There aren't many computers that take 100GB of RAM. Is this they way it was when you bought it? Manufacturers put lots of "trial-ware" on that no-one in their right mind would want. You should uninstall everything like that you don't want.

XP will install in 4GB, but that is only XP - no applications.

And who is to say there are XP drivers for all the hardware on the new computer.
