Official MS system minimum requirements for Win98* include
355 mb hdd space
16 mb system RAM
486 DX2/66 processor

I was with Win98 from the rollout. It ran real shitty in 16 megs of RAM,
but it ran. It ran a lot better in 32 megs and better still in 64. If
you had Win98 in 256 megs of RAM, you were drivin' a Cadillac.
