Win98SE specs: It wouldn't be a fun configuration - very draggy and thrashy - but before my Compaq Presario 9234 failed (built-in controller failure), I could do just that on it - 120 MHz Pentium, 8GB HD, 40MB RAM. Browser was the IE that shipped with it; email was Forté Agent.
WinXP: You can have multiple briefcases, one for synching the remote (presumably connected) system, and one for updating the handheld. I don't know what will happen if the same file is in both briefcases, and is updated separately on each. If you're talking about using the SAME briefcase with both the handheld and the remote system, then you've got to be very careful about synching, or you DO risk messing things up, though not actually LOSING files.
