Just got an IBM Thinkpad T20 with Windows 2000 Should I Switch to XP for Surfing Only

Would appreciate someones advice on this I just got on Ebay from a reputable seller an IBM T20 Thinkpad which has Windows 2000, I added enough Ram to 512, 15 GB & 700MHZ. I bought this laptop only to use to surf the web from my bedroom as my excellent HP Desktop Media Center Computer (XP, 900 MHZ, 120 gigs, 1024 RAM) is in the Den 25 feet away & I'm just lazy and don't want to get out of bed just to go online at night. Anyway, as all I will be using this laptop for is the Internet & the odd Word applications, will it serve any purpose in upgrading to XP? If I was using the laptop for other things, I would upgrade immediately. Thanks for any advice.
