Technically, it will run windows XP the way it is but it will run very bad. To make it run better, you will need 128 (256) RAM and probably a better processor. Not worth upgrading. Windows 2000 will run better on it. What is the CPU speed? Use the program "CPU Speed" or "CPUz" to check the CPU speed.
