Put your brain in gear and THINK
Of COURSE there is.
DOS, Xenix, older versions of Linux, Winhozed95, Windoz98, Winclosed NT 3xx, 4xx
and quite possibly a few more.
If you mean a NEW system, of course not. ALL new commercialized systems are going to capitalize on the newest best, fastest processors and RAM, and won't be concentrating on old hardware.

While thats true,you could put Windoze2000 or Xp series on to one. But at 64 meg of ram you could do very little on there.

Even Windows ME could do with 128 meg RAM.

So that model came with a Celeron 700 and 64 RAM stock. If you want to buy more memory, fine, but XP will be kind of a dog unless you get a lot!
Let's see $120 for new RAM from crucial (others may work and be cheaper, but their compatibility is guaranteed) + $100 for XP = $220. That sounds like too much. Maybe an extra 64 or 128 and put ME back on there until you can get a new machine, or upgrade to Win98SE on eBay.
