Cheap XP laptop

I'm looking to buy a laptop to use when away from home, mainly for surfing and listening to music through i-Tunes; may also stream TV from 4oD or ITV websites. The ones I've looked at for about £399 all run Windows Vista and tend to have a processor of around 1.4 to 1.5 ghz speed.
I'm under the impression that such a slow processor will struggle to run Vista and keep three or four tabs open for browsing plus play music plus maybe freecell all at rhe same time so I figured an XP based machine would handle this better.
Am I right and if so does anyone know where I can get hold of a new XP based laptop for £400 or less? Thanks
