More than the processor, to a point, memory will have a greater impact on
performance for XP. I am running XP Pro on a PIII 600-E with no trouble at
all. That includes Office 2003 apps, Outlook 2003, and FrontPage 2003. It
all seems reasonably responsive.

I have 384MB of RAM in my system, and I feel that would have to be the
minimum required for the best XP performance, which you would want with
slower processors like mine.

My wife's computer runs XP Home. It is a P III 800 with 256 meg. It runs
like a top.
