Let us know how you come out.
I have a desktop with twice that much RAM but somehow I thought XP
required more. If yours works, I might give XP Home a shot on my
spare
desktop.
Can anybody suggest a reliable online source that supplies legitimate
XP Home OS at a reasonable price?

XP Pro runs on 384KB. I haven't installed any software yet, but the OS
certainly runs properly.


Maybe on 384MB, but no way will it run on 384kb


I recall running XP Pro on 256k. Maybe my memory is wrong,
but I don't think so.

That would not be fun or enjoyable.
