How much Ram does it have?
You might get it to work with 256mb & only SP1 but SP2 might kill it.
It would be extreamly slow & probably not too fun to use.

64 megs is low.

I've never tried to put XP on anything less than a p3 600mhz & 128mb ram.
You can try.
It'll take a while though.
Also, there is the registration part of XP when you install it.

I don't like ME.
OK, I hate it.
I'd rather use 95.

You might have better luck with a linux distro.

This is a low requirement distro.
free also.
If you have broadband & a little PC understanding & time you should be able to get it to do what you want.
