Since LTC is going for the $50 mark, I might as well invest myself with it. I notice there aren't that many faucets available compared to BitCoin, or any place that I know of where I can buy LTC with a Gift Card. So I guess my option would be mining.

Problem is, here's my specs:

Windows XP
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4400+
2 Gigs RAM
Two 250 HD

So am I able? If so how should I do it? I already downloaded a wallet from Litecoin.org, so i need to know the next step.
