I have a Dell Inspiron 8100, 1ghz, 512mb RAM, 60gb HD, CDRW & DVD drives, pretty much matches your setup. I run XP SP2 with no problems. It moves really fast and is definitely good for wireless (just upgraded my Dell TM 1500 internal to an Intel 2200 802.11g internal, does great). 2000 SP4 would do very good also, ran faster on my laptop, but XP SP2 is just slightly slower, no real important degredation. Just the usual you would expect from moving to the next OS. And definitely get rid of the crayola interface on XP...
