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!

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.
