I think you'll have to try rather hard to stress that out -- under
normal use even windows should do fine :)

I have a Celeron 800 MHz with 128 MB RAM, and that already works fine
except under rather extreme conditions.  

I do find however that heavy disk activity slows things down -- eg, X
freezes for a second or two if I'm doing "make clean" in a large port
with lots of dependencies, or untarring a very large file (like the
mozilla source).
