Take a look at:

If you are installing on Windows, see:

I believe it's more than enough to learn MySQL. Our server at Ensita
runs MySQL 3.23.47 on a Pentium-200MMX box with 56ram and -
surprise - it proceeds it all. Noone here feels a need to upgrade.

I have seen MySQL working on a very ancient 486 box with as little RAM as
8mb and MySQL did everything that was designated for.
