Since the source for all platforms is almost the same, I think you can guess
the minimum system requirements from my experience:
I'm running PostgreSQL 9.1.3 on a 400 MHz MIPS processor, which has got a
processing power equal of a 140 MHz P4. The PostgreSQL server consumes 8
Megabytes of RAM just after starting it, and by default it uses 32 MB of
shared memory. My installation package after compiling the source is 24 MB.
As you can see, the requirements are quite low, it's hard to find a reliable
working PC which is not faster and better than the above one.

You don't inform your version and how do you want to install postgres
(via
source code or binaries), however, [1] and/or [2] contain what you are
looking
for.
Your right, however I couldn't find system requirements for any version.
I've just installed 9.2.2 onto Windows from binary. It's common for
software packages to have a section titled "System Requirements" like
Oracle has here:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/install.112/e18803/toc.htm#CIHFEBGE
For PostgreSQL all I have managed to conclude is:
OS: Windows 2000 (for Windows version)
RAM: Unspecified
Hard Disk: Unspecified
CPU: Any x86
I can see from the install folder it has used 180Mb, but it may well have
installed files elsewhere. Obviously it depends on install options. Surely
there must be a minimum RAM requirement? I can't see it running well on a
486 with 4Mb RAM.
