i used to run XP on a 400mhz p2 with a shitty graphics card and 384mb of ram - worked fine.. a little sluggish but i was happy with it for ages

ram is more important when it comes to XP.

I got a setup with 256 Ram, P3 550 with XP and it run ok. Not fast like my other CPU, but it's ok. Mind you, I don't have SP2 installed yet.

I ran XP on a P2 450mhz w/ 512 megs of ram. It ran better than it did with win98.

Although I guess you've already gotten your answer, I also ran WinXP on a PIII 500 w/ 512MB of RAM very smoothly. I had also run Win2k Pro prior to that with no troubles.

I used a 500 celeron and 128mb of ram for a bit when it came out.

It sucks, but it works.

fyi the requirements are 300mhz and 64mb.

Dude, just find yourself a copy of Win2000 for that thing and wait until you get some modern hardware to run XP.

500s should be fine. Might want to try getting your RAM up to 512MB, but what you have will be OK.

My friend Kung Lao had run WinXP on a 500mhz processor for two years. He said it was just as fast as 98.

 

[Catalyst]

I'm on a Compaq Presario 366 computer with a Cyrirx M2 250MHz (overclocked to 366, though) processor with XP. I also have a gig of RAM. It runs fine. Sluggish once in a while, but it's fine.

Had a 500 with 384 ram and it was fine.

If you are going for stability of Win XP and not for the eye candy, then choose for best performance at Control Panel/System/...
