Why on Earth would you not upgrade to at least Windows 7?
I'm on XP at work. I get a new computer in January though and all the new ones have W7. I must have been one of the last people to get an XP computer here. This OS is what, 12 years old now? Linux was on version 2.4.x when XP came out. OSX wasn't around yet, or was brand spanking new. I hate MS as much as anyone but that's still pretty impressive.
SP3 was released late 2008, so it's "only" 5 years old.
I'm not a gamer so DX9 is fine, all the .net libraries work on it, it has NTFS support just as fine as W7 and W7 32-bit cannot support any more memory than XP can.
XP is just a way for me to launch programs, W7 is not going to launch them any better.
Just want to get two more years out of this.

Firefox has come so far from the memory hogging 4.0 days. Like others here, I give it a shot ever few month and UI responsiveness always sends me back to Chrome. The resurrected electrolysis project can’t come soon enough. The irony is what use to be its greatest flaw, memory usage/leaks, is now it's greatest strength. Around Chrome 15+ memory usage started ballooning and was too much for my 2GB netbook. A laggy UI i…
Yeah, I don't mind big memory usage per se. I have tons of RAM, 8GB in fact. Take 1 if you need it, if it results in a responsive application. Chrome uses something like that right now. But if I hit ctrl-t on Chrome, I INSTANTLY get a new tab. Firefox lacks that. You see Firefox moan and sweat for a few seconds, and then poop out that new tab you ordered. But that's not the worst thing: the worst thing is that it wou…
I've run into some strange behavior like this before too. When you reopen Firefox and its lost your session, try opening another window or two and see if 'Restore Previous Session' is finally available.
If that didn't work, there are also a few other tools that can help solve restoring your sessionstore.js:

What if Firefox loses your tabs ?
It's funny to read those release feature announcements while running on Aurora channel which is on 24.0a2 right now, and 25 in a few days.
How are you finding the Aurora channel to be, stability-wise?
A year ago there were a few addon problems here and there, but these days addon authors are used to the new release cycle, so I don't have even these problems anymore.
