I'd second that from own experience. If you need Windows XP for older games (or programs) it's a much better idea to get one of the older single-core desktops or laptops for cheap (about 100-150€ these days), which provides the big plus that WinXP would run on the old hardware without a hitch, and so would older games as well.
