I have a D400 with that chip (Pentium M, 1.7) in it. While it is now my backup unit, it is more decent with XP. If we had not taken on a project that required Vista, I may not have changed when I did. You might see what it would cost to bump it to 2 Gb of ram, even with XP. It does make a nice difference. Ebay should have it somewhere pretty cheap.
My only caution on the Dx00 series is that they are getting old. The screens in particular may be getting a little on the dull /dim side. Otherwise, your FIL should be in tall cotton.
