The minimum requirements for XP setup are listed here[^]. In brief, a Pentium class CPU running at 233MHz is necessary - the 486-series topped out at 66 MHz - along with 64MB of RAM, and 1.5 GB of hard disk space. That's a minimum for installation, but your friend will need more to run actual programs on it. "If it's Snowbird season, why can't we shoot them?" - Overheard in a bar in Bullhead City
