Up to XP at least, Windows 32 bit can address only 4GB of memory.
However, this is split into 2 GB for the user processes in total, and 2

Pentium 233Mhz, 64Mb ram, CDROM drive, SVGA, Mouse, 1.5Gb Hard Disk space.
But I would say that a better minimum specification is the specification is:
Pentium II 200Mhz, 128Mb ram, CDROM drive, SVGA, Mouse, 5Gb Hard Disk space.
