I have run it for home use very successfully on a 486DX2 - 80 with 64MB of
RAM. The extra ram allowed me boost the size of the RAM drive to allow for
more packages, and gave me a good amount for Bering to work with. I have a
couple of new pieces of hardware, so my Leaf box got an upgrade to Pentium
166 with 64MB of RAM. This, as expected, has provided faster tranfer time,
especially noticed when there is a lot streaming or downloads going on. I
would upgrade again, but this is currently the lowest grade hardware running
at home.
I have run a training center classrooms (50 pc's not devoted to internet) on
a Pentium 90 with 64 MB or RAM and didn't have any complaints there either.
Hope that helps.

The minimum requirements would be a 486 compatible pc with 8-12 MB
memory and a floppy drive. This should suffice to run a standard
router (although 16+ MB memory might be more convenient).
If you want more special applications and/or have a high network
traffic load (order of > 1 MB/s), you might want to consider a bit
faster computer like pentium 200+ MHz.
Others please correct me if I'm wrong.
