OK - you forced me to do it...lol....

Just 4 fun I took a VMWare virtual machine Runing standard instal of Windows XP Pro (2002) SP2 on Toshiba Tecra M3 Host and reduced RAM allocation to see how low I could go.

32MB or more - Boot OK, Runs Apps OK.
28MB - Error during boot (Isass.exe System Error - The endpoint format is invalid) but otherwise Boot OK, Runs Apps OK
24MB - BSOD durimg boot, repeating restarts.

No, It isnt runing Boinc.
