That is utter nonsense. I know of (and myself) run 3.0/3.1/3.11 on a 100Mhz
Pent with 24Mb or RAM (32Mb is recommended).

We've had ClassPoint running on a 133Mhz pent with 16Mb ram with a Webtour
AND audio running on a 28.8 modem.

Also, Jason said another Urban legend -- that 3.1 is optimized for CU 3.1.
Again, nonsnese. MPCS makes even Cornell CU (all versions) fly, compared to
old versions of Reflector, especially at modem speeds.
