The thing is, Microsoft's memory recommendations tend to be the minimum the
OS will function correctly. Remember the minimum requirements for win95 were
a 386sx16 and 4 megs of ram. I'm told it will *boot* in that, if you're
patient. But do useful work? Ha.
I can confirm that it will boot... I did tech support for this person
who had just such a beast. It took about 10 minutes to boot. The poor hard
drive just kept grinding away the whole time. And this machine was used to
take care of their accounting.
