I'm running a Sparc 2 w/96MB of RAM with 2.6 and CDE. It's usable, though
a bit slow to start stuff up. Before I was able to get the extra 32MB in
there though you could forget Netscrape, but with 96MB even Netscape's
happy.

Of course since I have a 60Mhz RS/6000 on my desk at work and refuse to
give it up for a state of the art single or dual processor PC my opinions
of acceptable speed might be a little outside the norm :^)

Remember for most things stability is more important that speed.
