"User upgrading their H/W to meet Window's demands find they need a more robust
 system than Microsoft suggest."  Per InfoWorld, Aug. 20, 1990.

 MS's suggestions                 User's recommendations
 80286-based PC                   80286 12 Mhz minimum
                                  80386SX or 80386 preferred
 1 MB RAM and up                  2 MB RAM at least
 EGA, VGA and Hercules Graphics   Color VGA
 Hard disk                        50-60 MB Hard disk

 I hope this answers the question about running Window 3.0 at PC/286.
