slower and most of the hardware doesn't work with this, or there are no working drivers for it.





Slower, probably so if the RAM is below 512MB (many features of XP are faster, but overall still needs min of 512MB imho)

Hardware doesn't work?
1. WAAAAAAYYY too OLD of hardware
2. WAAAAAAAYY too NEW of hardware

Just because XP doesn't know the device or have the device drivers for EVERYTHING doesn't mean there are not drivers.

You can search around for drivers and you can also use a program like this to determine what the YELLOW device is in Device Manager
