LiveCD typically requires 256MB of RAM to spin up and install, much less after. I have installed as low as a PII 233 - but generally any P3 class machine and up will run it just fine and provide a good experience. so PIII - 256MB of RAM is comfortable. I use a 700MHz laptop all the time like that.

ok...have fun. The install and liveCD will likely be slow and take a bit - but once installed should cruise nicely :)
