There is one thing i would highly recommend that you to stay away from is XP Home Edition at least get XP Pro or Windows 2000 Pro.

Pick up some RAM (another 1GB) and you should be set.

Motherboard? CPU socket type? GPU socket?

BTW: I love my P1110. Heavier than a tank, but it's lasted me about 6 years, no worries.
