My five year old has a PC with 2.6GHz P4 and 512M - it does work very
well, but then he's not exactly into running OO and FF and Java and
lots of other stuff at the same time.  I also think 512M is too little.

My office machines still only have 1Gb, and that's entirely reasonable. 
I'm sure newer machines will come with 2Gb though.
