Interstingly there was a bit of a competition going on on anothe forum as to who could get Windoes XP to run on the smallest configuration.

Last time I looked, one of the protagonists had got XP working on a underclocked Pentium at 12 MHz in just 20 Mb* of RAM.

Apparently, it takes just over 50 minutes just to boot it up.

*For anyone wanting to try: You have to have at least 64Mb of RAM before XP will install, but you can subtract RAM after installation.



Aside from bragging rights, what is the point?
