A 500 MHz CPU should run XP just fine. You would be better off with much
more RAM, though. If you could double it to 128 MB or (preferably) go to
256 or even 512 MB, you should see significant improvement.
XP takes more RAM to run, leaving less for your apps, and forcing them to
use the swap file on disk. That is likely the cause of the slowdown.
