It will work, just not very well. The cable modem is fine on a 233, but XP Pro is a different animal all together.
The majority of problems with XP can be traced to inadequate hardware. In my opinion, and just my opinion mind you, XP should not be run on anything less than a 1GHZ PC with 512MB or RAM.

I'd suggest a) a free Unix (I know, I know...) or, failing that, b) Win95 or '98 for a 233.
I think you'll find yourself hating life if you have to deal with NT/2k/XP on something that classic; not so much slowness as random crashes (wait, that happens anyway ) and freaky core dumps. |

Yep, XP should be left to the big boys with big toys.

For 200 bones it's hard to go wrong. Besides, if it works, who cares right?
