    The link of above could be useful for you. In that report I have a similar machine (HP zv5000,
    1.6Ghz Athlon XP 3000+, 1.25GB DDR1, 55GB IDE, BIOS 2004) and my conclusion was that machine was not good enough to use as a daily driver.

    I agree with the above statements that you should try it first before investing any time in it. I suggest at least 2GB of RAM and Two Threads (Core2 or Pentium dual class CPU) to use as daily driver.

    With Firefox you may get two or three tabs before RAM is used up. But mostly it is going to peg your CPU and become unusable. Experience tells us that you need to use other browsers on low powered low-resource machines. But, as stated, it depends on what you are browsing. Firefox is hungry. I would not try it in less than 2GB of RAM.

    You will need to compromise. Stating that you will only use Firefox will doom this experiment. Better to get another machine.
