The World's Slowest Windows XP System

Never complain again about how horribly slow your PC is until you've seen this.

That puts the XP in back in Windows XP -- Xtremely Pokey:

The CPU is working at 60% of full capacity at the Desktop! Nowadays with a modern CPU you have to run many tasks in background to reach such a high level of work.

For this reason you had to have patience, very often. Do recognize the changing of the blue color on the screen before the "Welcome"-page?? At 20 MHz you can see all 8 blues line by line!

Great stuff. The actual minimum system requirements for Windows XP are a 233 MHz CPU and 64 megabytes of RAM.

Prozessor is the German word for processor, and the guy is running a German PC. BTW, Windows XP is actually 32-bit.

Hey you guys, have a look at this site for more fun about this topic.

The target of this project was to find the weakest system where you can run Windows XP.
Keep in mind, that Microsoft official requirements are a CPU with 233 MHz an 64 MB of RAM.
But that had to be beaten!
