XP can run without any problem on P266 with 64Mb memory (just will take a bit longer to load), and with proper tune up, speed can be reasonable. (turning off all animations, classic desktop etc..)

I used to work on PII 333MHz with 128Mb of memory, and used to have a NT, Win2000 and XP on that laptop without any problem.

Here are MS recommended requirements:

Quote:
PC with 300 megahertz or higher processor clock speed recommended; 233 MHz minimum required (single or dual processor system);* Intel Pentium/Celeron family, or AMD K6/Athlon/Duron family, or compatible processor recommended

• 128 megabytes (MB) of RAM or higher recommended (64 MB minimum supported; may limit performance and some features)

• 1.5 gigabytes (GB) of available hard disk space*

• Super VGA (800 x 600) or higher-resolution video adapter and monitor

• CD-ROM or DVD drive

• Keyboard and Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device

When you press Ctrl-F12 it increaces CPU cycles with 500 and when you press Ctrl-F11 it decreaces CPU cycles with 600-something. Might I ask why?
