the latest version able to run on a pre-G3  mac is VPC 3. I've tried to
install VPC 4 on my 3400 but it refuses to launch and claims for a G3 or G4
processor.

VPC emulates the PC hardware, it means that you can (virtually) install any
OS designed for a PC using their normal CD (including all windows and DOS
versions and linux). But, sorry to say that, Win XP would be horribly slow
on a real 240 MHz PC, so i let you imagine what it would be on a software
emulated PC. I've VPC 3 on my 200 MHz 3400 and the only usable Windows on
that is Win 95OSR2. Very slow but usable. I first had Win 98 (which was
included with VPC) : each time i pressed a key on the keyboard, i had to
wait 2 or 3 seconds before seeing the letter appear on the screen. Maybe
suitable for very patient people but not for me. Feel free to try XP on a
3400 :-)

Peace,
Mehdi
