I am going to be setting up a stream for YMML, just awaiting a email back from Dave. Just have a quistain, I plan to be using a Celeron 733 with 196meg ram running windows xp
No problem. My feed is running off an Intel PIII 500MHz Dell Laptop (circa 2000) with 256MB RAM, also running XP.
If your laptop is only serving the feed and is not being used otherwise, I would recommend stepping through this page to tune up XP and remove some of the bloat that certainly will not be needed on the laptop:

https://secure.logmein.com/I have been using this utility for at least a year now, as it allows me to connect to my feed laptop, my home desktop, and even my father-in-law's computer for occasional support, all while away.
