  If it's P3, and 198Mb RAM, it should be able to run XP Home SP2.
  
  Only you need to set the BIOS to seek CDROM drive on boot, with XP CD in drive.

  Dern.. after your upgrade to a new comp., you can still use the WIndows XP CD!
  
  Or simply junk it now and get one that is VISTA-Ready.
  
  >> AMD or Pentium Dual Core at over 3Ghz
  >> 2Gb of DDR RAM
  >> 512Mg PCIex graphic card with crossfire abilities
  >> 300Gb Hard Disk
  
  Prepare around S$1,200 (DIY costs)
  Prepare around S$2,800 (large market brands)
