I got an AMD Athlon XP clocked at 1.6 ghz back in 2001, months before
Windows XP released. Everyone was still using Windows 98SE due to the
Fiasco ME was, so i would say it was still accurate for the final part
of the period.

If I remember correctly...

- AMX Athlong XP (K7) 1.6ghz
- 256mb DDR1 ram
- Radeon 7500 64MB
