I can only remember having 256MB as the minimum in my formative years, with a 1GHz Celeron. It ran XP fine and some very basic games(Ultima Online, strategy games like C&C).

Not much has really changed, I’d argue what young ones do these days is even less basic with more bloat.

That’s just it! It used to take a cluster of 10-20 high end PCs to approach what’s in a cheap PC today.
