Your system will be more than capable of running XP.

My current laptop (I got it less than a month ago) was vista but I got rid of Vista and installed XP on it. Careful though, You have to install loads of drivers to get the computer working again.

How do you load the drivers if one of the ones missing is the wifi driver?  If you don't have a disk full of the drivers that came with the computer....
