I just retired the computer on my Bridgeport mill. It was a 733 MHz Pentium III. It originally had 128 MB of memory. I had to borrow a memory stick while installing, but then ran it on 128 MB for several years. When another machine was retired, I upped it to 256 MB, and things like editors loaded a lot quicker, then. Do NOT try to run Ubuntu 10.04 on such a machine. 6.06 is no longer supported, that is what it was running. 8.04 needs a bit more memory, but a 1 GHz CPU and 512 MB of memory is quite adequate. Now, if you are doing software stepping, you need at least 1 GHz to get decent step rates. If you have some hardware assist (Pico Systems or Mesa boards, for instance) then a 1 GHz CPU is more than adequate.
