Well... As long as your video card has at least 8 MB on it, you are fine. Here are the requirements... http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/home/evaluation/sysreqs.mspx ... Just make sure that you have enough memory on the card. everything else checks-out

Windows XP will install and pass the compatability test.

However, you may wish to add more RAM.

Hi With only 128MB you will find thats not enough to run other programs you should have at lest 256MB and 500MHz is just enough I think Microsft say 800MHz

Nyim:

The only other thing you may want to do before installing XP is to check the Hardware Compatibility List (now called the Windows Catalog):

Take the XP Compatability test at PC Pitstop.

Personally, I wouldn't put XP on such a low specification computer.
