    I think your specs should do. WinMe I think is just 98SE with a service pack.

    You should be ok with xp I have xp pro on a comp with 667 mhz 512ram..You might want to upgrade ram xp loves ram..One thing about xp you won't see the blue screen of death anymore..When it crashes its a soft crash that you can get out of by ending task. B)

    There really is no comparison. WinXP is the way to go.
