it will, but you will want more RAM to run it without any slow downs (128MB is min. req. for XP) So technically yes it will run, but for better performance you might look into more RAM.

well theres alot more to consider.

is the 3200+ an XP or an A64?
What speed is the RAM and what brand?
What chip does the vid card use...model really. I seen 9200 256MB cards and there horrible. what a waste lol.

in general it does looks like a good computer, "decent" is what i think you were looking for lol. got lots of RAM and a big HD, capable processor (A64 would be better but XP will do fine for home uses) and i presume a decent vid card.
 
ya it 64 i look at the erb site

XP will run with 64MB of RAM but it barely runs on 128MB, 256 should be the minimum you use. Keep in mind that under default settings XP tends to use 60-80MB of RAM just to start and sit idle.
