Yes you still can find brand new computers with XP installed!

Say, do you have any trouble trying to get XP running on newer hardware?
I was attempting to get XP on a Dell Latitude ST that came with Windows
7 Pro. So far I never heard of a case of anybody being successful. And
just today I read:

It is mainly USB3 drivers. And, now, some Intel chipset drivers.
Fortunately, there are still some motherboards out there that
still have support. And I do believe they all could, if the
vendors so choose.

Okay, and the ICHxx (ICH10R) drivers are a pain in the ass.
Especially with the idiot XP installer not reading more than
one f6 floppy driver disk and I have a RAID controller
or other f6 disk to install too. I just put the BIOS in IDE MODE.

I have about 10 floppy drives in inventory. Don't
know what I will ever do with them.

More like a "Pentium III on steroids" :-)

I really liked the P3's. Kicked P4's butt at the same clock
speed. Rumor has it that the CORE line was based on the P3
not the P4. P4 really stunk. I loved the CORE line when it
come out.
