Well, I have a 2.6 GHz AMD of some sort (built this comp so long ago I forgot what I put in it) on a mobo selected for its cheapness, 1 GB of RAM, running WinXP SP3, and I get excellent performance from calibre with a library of about 2500 books. I assume it would be even faster if I were running Linux, but my only Linux machine right now is my netbook, which runs ASUS's mutant custom Xandros (yeah, yeah, I know, put EEEbuntu on it, I will one of these days) and trying to install anything on that strange little critter is too much of a royal pain to make me want to experiment with calibre.
