Yes. I run it(at 800x600x256) on a 386sx20 with 4 MB RAM and 80 MB HDD. How's that for bare minimum? Oh, the CPU does have a cache, so I guess it's so much faster...:-). The only reason I run it at 800x600 is that my card only has 512k. Sometimes it swaps a great deal, and sometimes hardly at all...it depends on the phase of the moon...
