Windows XP on old computers

How slow of a computer have you ever put Windows XP on?

I've done a Pentium II 400 with 256 ram and a Celeron 466 (OC'd to 581) with 128.

I've got a friend who's put it on an old Compaq Armada 1700 (PII 266 with 192 ram.)

I'm currently updating XP on the 581 one, so I'm bored 'cause its taking forever! :roll:

1.6 GHz Pentium 4 notebook. And I've since removed it an stuck suse on that rig.

My slowest current computer is an Athlon XP 2600+. XP is good for gaming, if I can't use the computer for that, no point in using XP.
