Just for the record, RH's stated RHPW requirements are:

CPU:
Minimum: Intel Pentium Pro, AMD Athlon, or compatible; 300Mhz
(Yes, I know there wasn't a 300MHz P-Pro, just quoting the box)
Recommended: Intel Pentium II, AMD Athlon, or compatible; 750MHz or better
(Blurb about only support 2 cpus removed)

Hard Disk Space:
Custom installation (minimum): 800MB
Recommended: 2GB

Main Memory:
Minimum: 256 MB
Recommended: 512MB

CD-ROM drive required
