XP Media for home computer w/SolidWorks 2006

XP Media for home computer w/SolidWorks 2006

(OP)
Does anybody currently use XP media with Solidworks 2006 on their home computer?  I am looking to get a new home computer.  I would only use Solidworks about a couple of hours a week (light usage/very small assemblies).  The computer would not need to be networked or accessed from anywhere else.

Thanks.

I use SW2006 on XP Home using a 4-year-old computer with an unsupported video card.  No major problems so far, but I'm not exactly pushing its limits either.

I have it (SW 01 and 05). Runs OK, but not as well as with XP Pro.
Sometimes it runs slow or locks up.
