128 megabytes (MB) of RAM or higher recommended (64 MB minimum supported; may limit performance and some features)

Get real dude! You asked a question, I answered the question. You didn't like the answer. That makes me rude? Go back to your first post and read it. You asked "is it possible to install Win XP Pro on 48 megs of ram?" I gave you the minimum system requirements as per M$. Do with that what you will...I'm done.
 
MIN req are crap .... I play TS off a P100 min req is 166 ... that doesnt mean it doesnt work ... cuz it DOES .. now im done
 
Last Word?

64 mb min.? Thats what BiLl GaTeS says. BiLl GaTeS doesnt tell you everything. He is not even honest with you. He lies. Does he really lie? Yes he does. When did he lie.? HE NEVER SAYS WINDOWS SUX. But the good news is you are smart enough to figure that out . If you cant figure that out it's not because you are not smart enough or you are stupid, it's because you work for BiLl GaTeS. I think BiLl GaTeS is a nice person. So i guess problem is not BiLl GaTeS the problem is windowzzzz.

we know bill's a liar
and it will work
make an image from a computer over 64 megs of ram ....
the restore the image using pqdi
ha it works
 
You know what, install it on whatever the hell you want. Everybody has already told you how to do it(hint, hint). If you want to try it, then it won't matter what eveyone here is tryyyyying to tell you. Now will it? That what these forums are for, you ask and someone with knowledge or experience gives you their sound advice. If you don't want that knowledge then step right up into the dark void all by your lonesome. Be sure to post later when you run into problems.
 
i didnt run into problems it works perfect with 48 megs of ram
so much for the min req.
thanks all

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
