I was wondering if it would run okay, and if there are drivers for airport cards for xp?

I am pretty sure this cant be done. older mac laptops would be using the power pc processor. these aren't '"IBM compatible" processors, so they are not supported by windows. You could try linux though.:)

I talked to Coxmaster, and he said that I should try Ubuntu. I'll give it a go on there sometime in the next two weeks.

i dont' think that you can install XP on old laptop that is based on PowerPC. The only way you can use it is via some emulator software which actually slows the performance quite a lot.
Only system based on intel can install Windows natively via the bootcam[p.

Yep, only Intel macs can run Windows.. But the old PowerPC ones are great with Ubuntu.
