I saw this (http://www.winhistory.de/more/386/xpmini_eng.htm) and was compelled to post it here...

Basically they installed XP on a Pentium with 64 MB of RAM, then gradually took away the RAM and lowered the clock speed of the CPU until they successfully had it running on a 7-mhz Pentium with 18MB of RAM. Of course, it didn't run well at all. It's an interesting read, though.
