I would not hesitate to put Win XP on a reasonably good quality older
machine, especially with a minimum of 256 megs RAM. Memory is so dirt cheap
now that most people should be able to afford whatever they want. I
occasionally see desktop RAM free after rebates and a discount coupon.
Haven't seen laptop RAM free, but have seen it quite reasonably priced,
especially in comparison to a couple of years ago...
The only caveat here is that older laptops may be quite limited in how
much RAM they support. My six year old Umax laptop, for example,
maxes out at 128MB.
