Jeff,

Dig out that old 486 or Pentium 133 or such and run MS-DOS 6.22 and screw that XP crap.  It will also boot faster if you do encounter a glitch.  In my shack I have a 486 logging computer and my Win98 PII 266 laptop for networking and internet and run DX Atlas with Greyline on it during contests.  Works for me.
