I've run 11.0/KDE3 on a Thinkpad 390X/P3-500/256MB RAM with no
issues(waiting on a replacement motherboard.....).  I reguarly run my
X21 and it's a P3/700.

Low end systems are very viable.  You just have to realistic about the
limits.  Youtube sucks on them.  However, I can play high bitrate
XviDs on a P3/450 and a NeoMagic 256 chip with 2.5MB VRAM, so it
depends on what you need to do.
