Well, until last week I was running Firefox and OO under Win 98 on a 400 
MHz machine with 256 meg of RAM.  Worked fine.

I'm now running Linux on a 2.8 GHz machine with a fast (15k rpm) scsi 
disk.  I'm running Win XP in a virtual machine (VM Ware).  Still running 
Firefox, OO, and T-Bird of course. Nirvana.
