      Just an fyi minimum for XP is 64mb.

      But it is totally possible to run a striped down install on 32mb and not have it just abuse the swap space. With a under 120mb install space.

      I bought it on release (on floppy disks) and it did indeed run on 4mb of ram … it took about 10 mins to boot, and was grinding the disk for swap constantly, but it did run :-)

      16mb was plenty for it.
