I'm getting a used laptop within the next few days, and was wondering...

I am only going to use it to play SH3 and watch a dvd now & then.

I do not need to go online with it cause I can download everything on my faster home computer & onto my external hardrive & then just transfer it to the laptopl.

Can I just reformat and reinstall XP home & not load the MS SP 1 or 2? It has been my experience in the past that the MS SP stuff just slows things down anyway.
Could I get by with just dx9c and MS Net Framework 3.0 installed?

I don't know if I can load either 9c or net framework with out the ms service patch though..

This will just be a game & dvd movie player..nothing else..

Any thoughts ?
