Minimum recommended specification is:

CDROM drive that supports booting from CD.
Pentium class processor, 400MHz or faster.
4Gig IDE HDD.
VGA video card able to run 1024x768.
256Mb memory.

I have heard of people installing on a P266, and also with less memory, 128M 
being the absolute limit. The less memory available, the longer the install 
will take.

Avoid motherboards with integrated video that uses main memory (i810/15 
chipsets for example). Most graphics cards are supported and there is little 
to choose from between ATI and Nvidia..
