Officially the min required amount of ram is 4mb for win95 and 70mb of disk space.

Just an fyi minimum for XP is 64mb.

But it is totally possible to run a striped down install on 32mb and not have it just abuse the swap space. With a under 120mb install space.

I bought it on release (on floppy disks) and it did indeed run on 4mb of ram ... it took about 10 mins to boot, and was grinding the disk for swap constantly, but it did run :-)

16mb was plenty for it.
