This depends entirely(?) on what kinds of tables you use, especially their
size, and what kind of queries you want to do with it. 128MB RAM should be
fine for average applications, the hard disk size pretty much just limits
how much data you can store (and sort), and the processor factor is hard
to gauge. Having two processors might help more than anything else. But in
general it's for you to find out.
