Very nicely done, John!
Minimum Hardware Requirements to Install Windows Millennium
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;253695&Product=winme
SUMMARY
This article outlines the minimum hardware requirements needed to
install Windows Millennium Edition (Me).
MORE INFORMATION
The minimum hardware requirements for Windows Me include:
Pentium 150-MHz processor or better
32 megabytes (MB) of RAM or better
Minimum 320 MB of free hard-disk space
CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive
3.5-inch high-density floppy disk drive
Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device
Video adapter and monitor that support VGA or higher resolution
Sound card
Speakers or headphones
-----
Frankly, a new XP Home system is less than $500 in the Boston area this
holiday season. This is the better avenue than upgrading such an old
system now, IMO. The academic version of Office 2004 is $149 now.
