I don't know much about using the mobile processors with desktops. I think it has enough power to handle the loaded programs and DLLs without impacting sound, but I am not sure.The XP 2200 should be good enough as well.
The more processing power a system has, the better it handles the resident programs, DLLs etc, and at a certain point it makes no impact in sound in my experiece.
My minimum configuration I would use for a music computer would be an Athlon 64 or a medium powerful Pentium 4 and a gig of memory. Less than this and things like resident programs and DDLs begin to impact the sound. I don't know why more power sounds better per se, but I do know that our tests confirmed it every time.
I know some people are using low-powered computers with the theory that less should sound better (and of course be quieter), but that is not my experience when doing comparative listening.
You are using Foobar right? Are you using upsampling?
