There was a description in other thread: 700 MHz CPU, 128 MB RAM. I'd
like to accept such criteria.

Few years ago my main desktop was 450 MHz, 128 MB as well. :)

I am on Atom-330 system with 3.5 GB RAM (because I sometime play WoW
which tends to eat very much of RAM, it was 2 GB not so long ago).

It can be compared with other major DEs. Criteria are easy:
1) time to start and to do basic operations;
2) consumed RAM after doing some number of operations.

What are your suggestions? Write them, please. I can ask questions
too but proposing something is more productive than asking. :)
Cheers!
