Dear Darren, "minimum requirements" is the sort of thing you'd put on a video game box. EMC comes with various GUI's that each have different requirements. Axis wants a system with OpenGL hardware acceleration but it can use software rendering too; mini is a bit more frugal; and keystick requires only a text console. Last time I checked, you could run keystick with 64MB of ram just fine. Any system with ssh can also forward the GUI to another computer, and if you don't even have/want ssh you can install emc-sim on the remote computer and modify the emc.nml file for remote display.
