well I guess on 64 bit it would work.
you could pull 3gb of ram from your 8 or so gb and run things like that.
its more to do that I am running a 32 bit os in a 32 bit environment
well 2 of them that may be my issue.
I really don't have a need for much more power though.

maybe xp only works good on 64bit machines in a vm? I bet I could
find a windows95 or windows98 laptop on ebay for pretty cheap that
would work. and they still sell doubletalks with serial ports. but
i'd rather have software speech in dos like with espeak.

well you can get the xp mode but to be honest I was not happy with its
performance I gave it 2tgb of ram and it still hated me.
Maybe its partly because I have a win7 32 bit os, and technically I
guess I don't need it but whatever.
I still do want one.
What really gets me is that vmware aparently has some way to convert
machines to xp units well to image a machine and then you use it.
I have my old box set up, registered for the most part and ready to use
so if I could image that and make it a vmware vm then that would be fine.
I also have a couple units 1 has an upgrade xp only from 98 but again if
I could image that well.
