Fastone Image Viewer is what I use to view and do (very light, preliminary) editing of PEF files on underpowered hardware. It's nice and quick, and it's free:
http://www.faststone.org/ If you need to install Lightroom without an optical drive, just download it from Adobe: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_lightroom&promoid&promoid=DTEML or http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/lightroom4-1/ Once it's installed, just enter your license key and it's not a "trial" version anymore.
