    If you do not have 4GB RAM, you will get more bang from upgrading the RAM instead of the processor. Going from 2.8 to 3.4 Mhz will NOT give you a 20% boost in performance. You may not see any noticeable change.

    My D9100 with 3GB RAM and nVidia 6800 graphics runs Wun 8 pretty good for an eight year old machine.

    I'd get the CPU on eBay.

    An SSD is another improvement you might consider, but I'm not sure if it's a good choice for XP.
