Good luck and if you are wanting do this you need to buy a copy or two of Win 7 NOW.
I was kinda looking for a new desktop this month to replace the 4 year old Dell I am using (been upgraded along the way but its still older) and I could not find one new system out there selling with anything but Win 8.
Once you get the XP machine, plug the MB full of RAM and a new faster hard drive, and install Win 7 on it. That should help a lot. Then put Win 7 on your Son's new computer once he gets tired of Win 8.
