   Hello Mike   
      
   The system is running fine, for that matter so good I hate to say anything.   
      
   Two questions though.   
      
   I see on google their is many ways to run headless, what way would you   
   suggest? I'm running Win XP on top of Win2008?   
      
   Also, would you suggest running PX Express on Win 2008 or XP? I read were   
   Fred installed it on the 64 bit OS but used a share CD drive off of a 32   
   bit OS.    
      
   What would you suggest?   
      
   Thanks for your time   
      
   Greg
