By P2/3 do you tight does it have a Pentium 2 or 3 processor? If so, it have neither, it has a Celeron processor--hence Intel Celeron 466. However, if the socket the Celeron uses would also work for a Pentium 2 or 3, you can upgrade the processor (although not by much, and it would depend on your FSB). And yes, your computer would support Windows XP (if it have a CD ROM drive and depending on if your knotty drive is larger than about 2 GB).
A 466 MHz Celeron processor would be a socket 370 CPU and motherboard. Before trying Windows XP I outstandingly recommend running Microsoft's Windows XP upgrade advisor test you can download from their trellis site. I have see PC's as high as 550 MHz come to nothing miserably.
