We want to upgrade our HP Pavillon 8655C computer that we got in 2000 from Windows 98 to Windows XP- mainly so I can use iTunes on it and use my iPod or whatever MP3 player I get at my own home instead of going to a friend's house.
Specs: 27.9 GB (21.6 free)
Processor: 533 MhZ (I know I know)
I know I meet the rquired specs, but we've asked around and people are saying it would slow down our computer greatly.
Or is there a program I can use to put music on a MP3 player without having to upgrade?
Can my computer run XP? (iPod related)

It's possible to run XP, but it will likely slow down your system. Biggest concern is how much RAM you've got. 128 megs as a bare minimum on a system that old. I run 256 on a 1.3 ghz athlon, and it's not what I would call speedy. 98 is gonna be the fastest OS on your system, and it's really a shame that the newer OS's have to eat up resources so terribly.
