I have an older (2000) Compaq Armada 1750 laptop Intel Pentium II 400 MHz, 192 MB Ram, 10 GB Hard Drive, and I'm glad I put XP (Home Edition) instead of Win98. Runs like a charm, no blue screens of death. Have it on a wireless network, and running a anti-virus program in the background. Takes about 1.3 minutes to boot up after some tweaking. Runs Office XP and Adobe products great. Haven't played the big games with it, but I use my desktop for the fun stuff. Hope this is helpfull for the non-believers / pensive people. Give it a shot and see what happens, after some "tweaking" you'll be glad you did!!

I slapped XP Home on an older Compaq laptop too. Celeron processor in the
350 range, 128MB of RAM. It performs reliably and is stable. While it's not
the fastest thing on the block, it keeps up with what it is asked to do:
word processing, email, web browsing. It's also on a wireless network.
