Hey, heres a fact. I visited a website and found the bare minimum for running Windows XP. Here it is:
Asus PIV-486SP3 socket 3 Mainboard, SIS 496/97 chipset
Pentium Overdrive running @ 8 MHz
18mb Ram
EIDE drives
6.4 GB hardrive
Vision964-PCI graphics-card
I thought that this was amazing. Not to my suprise they timed the boot and it clocked in at 30 minutes. After 13 more minutes you can see the first icons. An additional 17 minutes more,
than you can start "working". The cpu idle is at 100% all the time, there is no real idle mode. When trying to start the internet the homepage becomes availible after 10 minutes.
