The target of this project was to find the weakest system where you can run Windows XP.
Keep in mind, that Microsoft official requirements are a CPU with 233 MHz an 64 MB of RAM.
But that had to be beaten!


Anyways, you get the picture. This dude gets Windows XP to run on an 8mhz box with 20mb of ram.

He even gives directions on how to do it :P
