Depending on how big your webpage is and if it is Dynamic or not. People on here use 166Mhz computers running a form of Unix as firewalls/routers with no lag of any sort.

If it's just static web pages then it's overkill.

I would think a minimum of 256 mb of ram would be desireable, to minimize, if not eliminate, given it's a low task computer, hard drive swapping.
Win2k loves ram 🙂
