Ok jel a 850 cpu will run xp and if you have at least 256 meg of ram you should be ok xp will load with as little as 64 megs of ram.. but will be about worthless and what XP pro do you have ??
if you have the free XP that was hacked you couldnt do the sp 1 and java would work with it at that time I know I have no java on my machine...
Ok all XP users should run there machines with windows set to run on performance if they are lacking cpu and ram - XP in it self uses a lot more resources than any other win OS So to change this go control panel - system - advanced - performance - settings and tick the radio button to set to run on performance and your machine will be faster all around and I run the 3 XP boxes all this way, my main PC is althon 2200 with a gig of DDR and dont miss the heavy XP graghic BS that it has... try it and you will see that it will work better..
