FWIW XP runs fine on a mobile core/core 2 duo. There are some ULV
variants as well now, with TDPs around 5-10W - although I've not seen a
m/b that uses them yet.

Adding any sort of card almost always raises the power consumption, so
try and find a m/b that integrates as many of the functions that you
need into the chipset (ie graphics, disk I/O, networking etc).
