When I had to do well on the GRE before entering graduate school, I used the prep book from The Princeton Review and kicked the hell out of the math section.
They have prep books for SAT Math 1 & 2 which covers (ironically) more complicated stuff, and I think that's what you really want. For getting your mind back in mathematics mode, I'd pick up both of those (twenty bucks each or less) and work through all the exercises you need to in order to jog the memory banks. Start with the GRE math and good luck!!!
I can't help but agree with the comment above dating XP at 2004 (w/SP2, when it finally became the relatively stable platform we know today), and everyone rapping M. Dell for simply marketeering... but furthermore, I have had/problems/ with the Dell we received as a gift (no, I would not have bought one myself, I would have assembled something better for the money)... memory going bad, not enough power coming from the power supply to support the components factory-installed, having to endure a totally "behind the scenes" re-rooting of Windows on reinstall which makes sound drivers a nightmare to set up properly. When I was in college and had days at a time to hack on a driver problem, that was fine, but I work full time now -- I'd like my PC to/work/.
In spite of all these difficulties, I already "love" my PC... all that Word 97 goodness was all I ever really needed in terms of wordprocessing power and the changes that came with Office 2003 were essentially polish. Does anyone else out there love the fact that Office 97 apps come up in about 0.25 seconds even on a P4?

Dell sucks?
