which you already have found out...

Intel x86 architecture means it does not run on Intel 4004, or on Sparc, Rockwell, Motorola, Zilog, Texas Instruments, Arm and a whole bunch of other processors.

But any Intel 8086, 80186, 80286, 80386, 80486, 80586 (Pentium!) or 80686 will do, as will some other manufacturers (Crusoe). See the x86 pattern emerge?

Don't you? Last 3 PC's I bought were 64 bits, and one of them runs XP. That's the game computer - serious ones use Linux.

Oh - did you know there's also 64 bits XP?

Just get it on any windows Xp machine, and see how it runs.
