Xp may run on this laptop ok, but that may not be the complete answer. Laptops for the most part use what is called "Shared" memory for Video memory. For video display this can cause a problem if there are too many background processes/programs running. The computer itself has the priority over the video so if too much is going on with the rest of the computer video is what suffers.
So even with XP a some background processes may have to be turned off to get the syncronization to work right. XP will be less demanding on the processor and will make getting it working easier than Vista though.
