Old Sony models have TWO model numbers. One on a label on the outside of the computer, and one shown in the bios Setup.
Sony only has info about the model number shown in the bios Setup.
The model shown in the bios Setup in this case can be any one of:
PCGF701, PCGF707, PCGF709, or PCGF709K
….
For PCGF701, PCGF707, and PCGF709

Your notebook came with either Windows 98SE or Windows 2000.
XP just barely runs as it was intended to when you have 256 mb of ram installed.
