I recently bought a used Laptop from and Estate sale and all it came with is the power cord. It is an older P3 with a 700 MHZ processor. It has a ton of stuff on it that I really don't care for and some that I like. I would like to just put my fresh version of XP in it and wipe it clean. Is that possible? It already is set up and using XP. By the way it is a Dell Inspiron.

I also use a cable modem at home so is is possible to hook it up the same way?

This is my first laptop...can you tell?
