I remember getting an error message when I tried installing XP (or was it 2k, come to think of it) on my deceased 133MHz 64MB system...

The minimum requirements for Windows XP are: a 233 MHz processor, 64 MB RAM, 1.5 GB of free hard drive space, a Super VGA (800X600) video adapter and monitor, keyboard, mouse, or other compatible pointing device, and a CD or DVD drive. If you are using the minimum requirements you may be unable to run some special services or applications. The minimum requirements are for installing only the basic operating system with no extra options or hardware.

Correct Option(s):

a) 233 MHz processor
c) 64 MB of RAM

Incorrect Option(s):

b) 1.8 GHz Pentium 4 processor - While you could use this processor, it exceeds the minimum requirements.
d) 128 MB of RAM - This is the amount of RAM that is recommended, not the minimum amount of RAM required.
