Well, consider this:  In 1994 (when I got here) and for about a year (at 
least) we ran a 948 with 24 MB of RAM, and this was a production machine 
with about 20 users on it (this is what happens when you rely on some 
unscrupulous third-party supplier for your technical info).  My predecessor

upgraded a 922 to a 948 (by swapping the system board) and never upgraded 
the memory.  We found out about it when I placed an HPRC call and was 
informed that the minimum 948 memory requirement was 64MB and that HP 
was not obligated to support a 24 MB configuration.

Needless to say, we promptly bought more memory.  Oh, and BTW, the 
third-party supplier said, when asked by me why he didn't tell my 
predecessor she needed more memory for a 948, "She didn't ask me."!
