XP the OS? or XP the processor? If the OS then most should be stable. If the proc I'm not sure one exists. Check my XP OS PC in the sig.

Athlon XP 1700+
ECS K7S5A
512MB Crucial DDR
60GB Maxtor D740X
SB Live
GeForce 3 ti200

Rock solid. I was nervous about the ECS after all the horror stories online but I love it. In fact, I just built two nearly identical systems for work (diff. video, sound) and they kick ass, too. I've experienced one lockup on my machine in a game when I was seeing how high I could overclock the video card (stable at 240/470).

Running a dual boot of Win98, WinXP Pro with an XP 1700.
Square and solid on all corners. To date, the most trouble free system yet.
