I have an old Dell Poweredge 2400 with 1 gig ram and dual PIII 733 Mhz processors.
Is this enough horsepower to drive the core?
How ironic, I asked the very same question for the previous version Dual PIII 733 with 512Mb ram
I got it running, it took forever to load anything.
If you want to hold on to your cash and you have time - give it a go no performance guarantee's.
If you don't have the time, I recommend you upgrade - sorry
