  To avoid confusion, just use mebimeters (1 Mim = 2^20 m)

  I don’t think you can damage anything by doing that - maybe you’d run into problems if the keyboard needs more current than the USB port can provide, but even then the keyboard just wouldn’t do anything

  As far as I know, the Windows UI technically doesn’t need GPU acceleration, but it does depend on DirectX - the Windows 8 developer preview included a software renderer so that Aero Glass worked even without GPU drivers.

  As far as I remember, the Logitech MX518 was one of the best PS/2 mice - but it’s not beige, so it might be more appropriate for an XP build.

  If the computer has a PS/2 port that you aren’t using, you could probably power the device by plugging it into a passive USB adapter like the ones that came with older keyboards and mice.
