Usually RAM is more important than CPU clock. 2GHz and only 128MB RAM is no
lucky choice...it is like in cars where cylinder capacity is not replacable
except by more cylinder capacity. ;-) There 2.5l/150PS is to prefer over
1.8l/150PS and so on, in PCs it is the same. If you want to join your Win XP you
should take at least (!) 256MB, better are 512MB. The current RAM prices should
make your decision easy.
