200 MMX, 128 MB RAM, 2 GB HDD, 2 MB S3 Trio video card.
I have a 50x cdrom drive, and usually do "toram" since the drive is not too reliable, and with 128 MB ram, it works ok to put DSL into RAM.
The hard drive has a generous swap for DSL to use, and I use a hardware modem with Wvdial. Very pleasant to work with.
