Actually doubt that you can run anything with 64mb. I had a system with

may kill the system.


What happens if processor clock speed isn't quite up to
recommendation? I would think it might simply run slower but... I have
no clue. Anybody?
I have an AMD Athlon XP sticker on the front of the desktop box but no
idea what the clock speed is. Will it be stamped on the processor
itself?

installed and OS version.

There are some freeware utilities that will tell all you want to know and
more about your system. Here's one:
