man, I have run it on all manner of wird stuff. Old and low powered like you wouldn't believe. I am writing this email right now on a seven ( or eight? ) year old HP Kayak PC machine with a 400MHz processor. Works fine. I have weird low powered low cost VIA CoolStream based hardware and it works solid as a rock. I have, are you ready for this, an IBM Thinkpad model 390X with maybe 384MB of memory and I installed Solaris 10 GA in it. I have been running Solaris on x86 for about as long as it existed and it wasn't always easy to work with, but you really have a large large large portion of the hardware that's out there to pick from.
