No, he was right the first time. You need at least the 'F' version of the SP
processor. We still sell those brand new, y'know (the 9805). The AP is the
real 9800 series CPU, as in 9815, 9825, etc. The XP is the MIServer processor.

Actually a little better than 4.4, because of the new VM. But yeah, you really
want at least 8MB main memory.
