What do you want to run on that computer? A workstation? A firewall? A mail server? Apache? Assuming you want to run a work station I would recommend at least 256Mb or RAM. The more is the better. Your BIOS would probably see up to 512Mb RAM. CPU speed is more than enough . I would use at lest 6Gb HD for a work station. You computer would with above specifications would make a great thin client, firewall, home made router or DNS server.
