You can get 98SE to run with 32mb on a P-120 but adding networking to
the mix will slow things down considerably.
XP on a P-200 with 96mb? It won't install. MS minimum requirements as
printed on the box: P-233 or AMD K6/Athlon or Duron with 64mb system
memory. To do any kind of real work with XP you need a least a CPU
speed of around 450mhz and 128mb of memory.
Can't help you with Arachne, maybe someone else can chime in with their
experience.
Regards.
