Here's the current specs of my XP rig. I ran this motherboard and CPU for a long time from when the Athlon X2 first came out all the way until about 2012. I've rebuilt it using other parts for my XP Retro Rig.
AMD Athlon x2 4200+
Asus M2N4-SLI
PNY GTX550Ti 1024MB
4GB GSkill PC-6400 CL5-5-5-5-15 DDR2
Seagate 320GB SATAII
Sony DVD-RW
Sony DVD-ROM/CD-RW
Older Generic ATX case with a New 400W powersupply that came with a different case.
Windows XP 32bit
I know the videocard is probably overkill. It's basically the second fastest one I have next to the R9 390 in my main modern rig. I could scale it back to a GTS250, a 8800GT, or a 9800GT and i've got a ton of 6 and 7 series cards.
I know I can go for a beefier CPU but anything that would really benefit from it I THINK will run on Windows 10 on my main rig. Happy for any input on that. Fastest CPU I think that would go in this guy would be a AMD x2 6000+ I think.
Definitely need a different power supply worried this one is too cheap, but it's the only one I had onhand besides the one in my main rig with a 6 pin connector for the video card.
Working on installing XP right now.
