I absolutely agree that a fast CPU with 4 or more megs of memory are Preferred but certainly not a requirement. I successfully run my Flex 3000 with both an old HP laptop with a built in 4 pin firewire and HP desktop with built in 6 pin. The desktop has and Athalon 2600 (n220 model) with the memory maxed out a one meg. The Laptop is a DV5000 with Intel T2050 @1.60GHz 798 MHz with 2 GB RAM. Both XP 3. I doubt either of these machines would bring $150 max but they do work. CPU usage runs about 50% at the high. Not a machine for multitasking with SDR but they are a way to get a Flex on the air. Let's not scare off any would be Flex users saying that a $500 computer has to be part of the package.
