Pentium 90MHz booting Windows 7 SP1 in 6 minutes

Finally I have settled down Windows 7 on a Pentium (P54C) machine. Directly installing Windows 7 on a P54C or P55C machine will give you a BSOD with STOP code 0x00000078, unless patched with SP1 (maybe just patching KB980358 would be enough). It's a 100MHz chip and I downclocked it to 60*1.5, which is the lowest combination (for Pentium processors) available on ASUS P5A-B. Other people reported success on configurations with 96MB or even 64MB memory, but I only have 64MB ram sticks and got BSOD with just 64MB so I have to install 128MB. The system was installed with AMD K6-2+ 600MHz processor and 768MB ram. It was later downgraded to Pentium 90MHz and 128MB ram to see how Windows 7 behaves on minimum configurations.
