Too old and slow for XP?

No the vid card is fine for XP, but too good for that cpu.

You guys shouldn't laugh at the old pentiums. Took my dad down last week to replace his commodore 64!

Windoz XP requires lots and lots of RAM.
Upgrade the motherboard, add RAM, add larger HD.
If you really got brass ones, move to Linux.
Linux will work on your smallish box.
I'm gradually switching to Linux on my old Dell 4100,
but haven't yet gotten to making DVDs as yet, only CDs.
Cut out lattes and cigerettes for a month and with the change
get a 2nd HD and put Ubuntu or Mepis Linux on it for free.
Make duel-boot so you don't loose your Windoz OS.
My 1GHz Linux box boots faster than my 2.8GHz Windoz XP box.

Ours is the age that is proud of machines that think and suspicious of men who try to.

My laptop runs fine with XP, it is a PIII 750/600 with a 133 bus and had 256mb of ram when I first installed XP. I have recently installed another 256 mb's of ram. The only problem I had was the DVD ROM, the drivers would not work with XP so I had to install a new decoder for the ROM, other than that and the fact that my laptop is a Dell so some of the quick keys do not operate with XP, but I don't use them anyways. I like XP and it should work fine with your system.

Thanks for the comments everybody. I just may give XP a try on this machine. Will post back here with results if I do.
