Because you can still build MAME machines using $20 dell optiplex 256mb\512mb RAM computers......

Simply plugging your Windows XP based system (why the hell are still running XP again?) into the "Internet" will not effect performance.  If you have Windows set to auto-update - there could be something there to blame.

I always install a fresh copy of windows in each system I build (have made a lot now) and always disable any auto update features and since I am using a striped down version of XP most services that I wont use are already disabled or removed without me having to mess with it. Despite this I have had a couple times when I did nothing but connect to the internet on one of these and download video\audio drivers from the manufacture's website and something funny happens. I have no idea what actually caused it those few times but ever since installing the same drivers from USB I have had no issues. I think overall in a system like this the internet, access to it and it just sitting idle while connected, is a bad idea.

It hails home as soon as it is connected. Does it change anything? Don't know, would depend on a lot of things considering the different security functions and protocols in the different service packs. But I prefer to be on the safe side as these machines I build will be in the hands of people who do not have the know how to fix any issues that may arise down the road.

I keep forgetting your build machines for sale.  Ya, I guess if you're going the ultra-cheap route for the PC it makes sense. 

CoryBee:
They aren't always super cheap, most of the time yea, all depends on what the customer want to run and how much he is willing to pay.

Stay frosty  :lol
