That's their rec, but unofficial rec is P3 class or better, 256ram. hdd doesn't
matter all that much. just give it plenty o' ram and a decent processor.
for those thinking about getting xp but aren't sure their box can handle it,
see www.powerleap.com for processor upgrades, and www.crucial.com for ram and
www.hypermicro.com for hard drives. that's where i shop :) good deals good
stuff.
