Come to think of it, I do get the BSOD depressingly often, although
I'm sure it doesn't help that I'm still running Windows 98SE, XP being
(I'm told) a bit much for my antique to handle.


A PIII 600 is adequate for XP, provided you have 256MB RAM minimum and
enough hard drive space. It won't fly, but it'll be perfectly usable. I
speak from experience of running XP on a variety of old hardware.

You can even get away with 192MB, but it will be a bit sluggish.
