XP on an old laptop with 384 MB RAM - anyone done it and how does it work?

[Filliam H. Muffman]

XP will run with 256 MB, just hit the hard drive all the time for virtual memory. The leaner it is the better, so no video players, flash, QuickTime, iTunes, etc. The biggest problem is antivirus. A lot of the current ones can make it choke.

Pretty soon the second round of after inventory sales are going to start. There should be one day sales of 1.6 GHz laptops with 1 GB of RAM for about $250 pop up.
