XP will refuse to load if you don't have at least 64MB.

Laptops are hard to upgrade aswel, its very fiddly.
windows xp is designed to work on a 512 mb Ram system. WHich means that running it on 40 will be so slow that it will take forever to load up. Windows xp will NOT run efficiently on a 90 mb ram system either.

False information = confusion.

I hate to say this but that's wrong too

As stated on all official pages, documents etc, the minimum hardware requirements for Windows XP are:
• Pentium 233 MHz processor or faster (300 MHz recommended)
• 64 MB of RAM (128 MB recommended)
• 1.5 GB of available hard disk space
• CD-ROM/DVD-ROM
• Video adapter and monitor with Super VGA (800 x 600) or higher resolution

The minimum hardware requirements for Windows 2000 are:
• Pentium 133 MHz processor or faster
• 64 MB of RAM
• 2 GB with 650 MB available hard disk space
• CD-ROM/DVD-ROM
• Video adapter and monitor with VGA (640 x 480) or higher resolution
