I think the original recommended was 300mhz and 256MB, however I'm wondering
if that has changed with service packs.

Assuming you're referring to installing WinXP SP3...

The question is if I had 2 computers exactly identical in hardware
one with XP no sp's and another with SP2 or even SP3

would the non SP run faster. I'm just assuming that the SP's require more
ram.
