The processor would be fine. You can't dell a difference between a 600 MHz processor and a 3 GHz processor when running XP. The major contributor to performance in XP is how much ram you have. Put 1 GB of ram in a 500 MHz PC and 1 GB in a 3 GHz PC and they'll be indistinguishable in just about everything but gaming.
