Greetings --
Not necessarily. There's more to WinXP-compatibility than simply
meeting or exceeding WinXP's minimum specifications. While the CPU
power and the amounts of RAM and hard drive space are important, the
overall _quality_ of the PC's components is of paramount importance.
To Repeat:
PCs that are designed for, sold with and run fine with Win9x/Me
very often do not meet WinXP's much more stringent hardware quality
requirements. This is particularly true of many older models in
Compaq's consumer-class Presario product line or HP's consumer-class
Pavilion product line. WinXP, like WinNT and Win2K before it, is
quite sensitive to borderline defective hardware (particularly
motherboards, RAM and hard drives) that will still support Win9x.

That qualifies right?
