XP is one of those oddities that has vastly different minimum and recommended. A friend of mine got it running on a P-100 with 64 megs of RAM, but you'll want at least, say, a P2-400 with as much RAM as you can stuff in it to make it happy. I have 1.5 gigs of RAM in my main PC ($26 each for 512 meg sticks, Pricewatch special) and it manages to use 200-300 megs of it without any effort on my part. Yes, a 166MMX is a P1.
