For RF-only, I've had it running on a 486-25 laptop with 32MB RAM.
I run Xastir more often on a PP-200 laptop with 32MB ram running
Slackware 8.0 (zipslack plus a few X packages).

Might be fun to see what the lowest-end system is that Xastir could
run on.  I should still have a 386SX-20 motherboard or two laying
around and enough parts to make them function...
