Default Vintage PC Build for P99

So I’ve been toying with the idea of building a vintage pc for classic gaming for some time now. I think I’d like to build one to primarily play Project 1999 for that classic feel, but I’m curious what specs everything thinks might work well. I know that windows 98 won’t work based on some Direct x issues I’ve been reading on other threads. So the machine will need to run xp, and I am leaning towards a P3 450mhz and maybe a GeForce 2 MX because these are the same specs I had on my original EQ machine (Or maybe I even had a riva tnt2 ultra originally I can’t quite remember).

Do you think this might run P99 fine? I know P99 runs off the titanium eta client so the required specs are definitely different than original original EQ. The other question is the resolution I’ll be running the game at. I lack the desk space to run a second monitor to have an OG CRT monitor so I’d prefer my 1080p lcd. There’s no way these specs would run EQ at 1080p, so maybe I either increase the specs on the build or bite the bullet and get an old monitor or see if my screen will run at a lower resolution? Anyone have some thoughts?
