"I installed the 32MB version on a Pentium M laptop from 2005. Textures look like wet cardboard, but the police AI still works. It’s playable at 20fps. Unbelievable." — User: RetroRacer88
"The '17 Top' is misleading. You only get 17 cars total, not the top 17 cars. And the radio stations are gone. But for 32MB? I can't complain. It's on a USB stick in my glovebox." — User: GarageMechanic nfs undercover highly compressed 32 mb 17 top

The rule of thumb: If your school laptop can run Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005) on medium, this 32MB version of Undercover will fly. If your computer struggles with solitaire, this will at least be playable at 640x480.
Buy the full game on GOG.com (DRM-free, often on sale for $2–5).
Minimum size after install: ~3.5 GB.
No legitimate 32 MB version exists.
