"a processor of that age" ??? "your clockspeed" ???? Pentium 4
(1.60GHz) + 512 MB ram is not
hardware for embedded system. This class of machine was very common 5
years ago.
Back to Earth : are you aware you can do a lot of algorithmics and
visualisation with a processor 10 times less powerfull ? Remember
Maple V.3 under Windows 3.1 in the middle of the nineties. I use
Maple 10 to illustrate some undergraduate math courses I give so my
needs are very basic : symbolic calculus, linear algebra, plotting
and programming capabilities.
It is very unfortunate that Sage has adopted the Microsoft Vista
upgrading Model.
A suggestion : provide a light version that would meet the needs of
many of the potential Sage users (if not the majority of them).
