We went to the moon with slower machines.
It is only the bloated operating systems that need the extra speed.

Mathematica will run on XP, SP3, the box says. It prefers a 64-bit OS on
Macs. I have no idea how fast it will run on obsolete gear and OS, though.

The requirements are for the user interface, not the math.

I had no idea you were the rec.boats maven on Mathematica. So, you must
be aware that on a computer running 12 processing cores at 2.4GHz and
one running a quad-core processor at 3.2GHz, the 12 core machine was
twice as fast on a standard benchmark. Must be the user interface, eh?
