I think we may be looking at different subsets of their product (I think you
maybe looking at the full GNATBox product, vs. me talking about the GNATBox
light version). Here is what I use:

It works great for me on an old 486/33 with 30MB RAM.

This is what I refer to from their web page:
This is the full product, but it will run in a time limited mode.
After initial configuration the software will operate for 180 minutes,
then halt. Each successive re-boot will decrement the runtime by 30
minutes.
Thanks,
