Right now I have a 2.0ghz pentium with 2 gigs ram and a nvidia card, and sblive and intel 100 net card. Its a very comfortable user experience on that.
My last aros box was a 3ghz machine, and I will say things seemed alot snappier and smoother on that, but still 2ghz is fine.
I'd love to see aros running on a 386 or 486, just because... I wish I had one to try...
The first time I saw AROS run, it was on an old pentium 1 90mhz I had laying around,booting from floppy once they got that native floppy boot working. It was just cool to see.
We've come a long way. I wouldn't want to run current aros on a pentium 90, but I would like to see it run on a very very low spec machine just for my own curiousity.
