Without being detail, you can get by with a base installation of pro w/
64mb.  Although tough, I have run (client) test machines with 32mb (don't
try it with 24, you will die).  Depends on the services you are running.  If
you decide to run IIS, then forget it, in my experience you will be dead in
the water with 64mb.  The disk will be begging for mercy.

So after someone gets inspired (enough) to run pview and disk perfmon stats
(sure, even puttin the swapfile on separate disk would change things quite a
bit), I think this discussion becomes very subjective fast.

I haven't run Windows in a coon's age, but those who insist on running
W2K have told me that even with 128MB core it is somewhat sluggish.  I
imagine it is painful with less.
