I've got a Toshiba 5105-S901, which came with XP Home. I wiped it and
installed XP Pro. Later, I added Win 2K (dual-boot), and later still, I got
rid of the Win 2K.

This particular Satellite has NVIDIA video and Toshiba provides the
necessary drivers (and many more) for both Win XP and Win 2K on their tech
support web site.
