My actual hardware could run much newer software but I'm not a big fan of newer Windows versions either.
(3GHz Pentium 4 currently with 512 meg ram but I can do 1gig without having to buy more)
All my Ubuntu versions are running on P4 (and a Celeron 2.0) hardware. (I had Gutsy running on a P2 -400 w 384M, but it was weezing a lot ) True the Ubuntu 11.x versions prefer a hot graphics, but you can select "classic mode" and run on common graphics cards . Prior to the 11.x series, all would run on 512M with little swap size.
