WinXP likes at least 256MB's of Ram. How about checking out Ebay. If you can scrape up 90 bucks you could get a computer in the range of 1.2GHz processor, 256MB's of ram. You could check out Weirdstuff.com,(computer store-used), and buy an older motherboard with the average spec's of at least 2G's Ram,(capable), and up to a 1.0GHz processor,(or more) Plus I've seen 1.0 GHz processor's,(Intel Socket 370), sell for $9.95 I bought a Gigabyte mobo from them, to fix a person's computer, works great!

Hi I think you maybe out of luck there you maybe able to load XP but it will never run fast enough to work even if you could get the memory for it. I have managed to get XP running just on a 200MHz computer with 256 mem but it still was very slow.
