To run Mozilla or Openoffice, 512 MB would be better. As to CPU, my low limit is 500 MHz. Current software systems feel better from adding RAM rather from speeding up the CPU. I have quite a loaded server+router host with PIII-500 and 768 MB RAM. The only bottleneck is CPU when it comes to full-speed PPTP traffic decoding.

The extra ram definitely helps and we'd love to bump the standard install up to 512 ram, but keep in mind these are systems that have been thrown out by their original owner so we can't be too picky.
