AKADEMIKA, a problem encountered on many old computers was the amount of RAM. In the old days, memory was expensive so they tended to put in the least amount possible to do the job. Storage space was the same. I can recall when 640K seemed like more storage space than a person could possibly need. Check yours out and be sure it's compatable. XP needs a lot. HTH. Ed in Texas.
