These are the specifications for a seven inch netbook. I was wondering if I can put windows XP on it. I understand that this is a low powered netbook and that it will be fairly slow but I just want to know if it is possible. All I do on my computer is watch videos that I have downloaded. If windows CE has a media player and can handle bit torrent, should I keep it? I also put the system requirements for XP that I got off of wikipedia.

I actually installed XP on a netbook similar to that (but with an Intel Atom) and it ran like total crap even though it said it was supposed to run XP.
