Ive had xubuntu lag up on me even on good systems, never really was a fan of the ubuntu distros, we just dont get along.

Give offbyone a go on your xp install:

it works better than Firefox on my lowend machines.  Another suggestion is k-meleon: http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/
I am just not a big fan of it.

And ofcourse you can try Opera, if you can deal with the ads that is.

NIC? Is that your wireless card?

Also, would DSL be a good OS? It has very small system requirements, and I'm kinda opposed to TinyXP due to its questionable legality.

sounds stupid but have you tried it under IE ?

I only ask because I am using a 400mhz tablet pc with XP and IE and have no problems viewing youtube videos (or winamp videos etc)
the only thing it wont handle is full screen video

No, I can't, I'm running on Linux silly.  ;D I would love to see the day when MS ports IE to Linux.

I would try TinyXP but I'm so afraid of it not working. Then I'm back to square one in Xubuntu with my wireless card.

NIC means Network Intereface Card

DSL is alright, and for what you are doing it could possibly be your answer.  I have no beef with using tinyxp because Ive given microsoft enough money this generation.
