I've got a homemade dual PIII 800MHz machine with 512MB of RAM that I use for 
my OS Restores. It's done RaQ3, 4, and 550 installs without problem. The only 
thing that I've noticed with that particular system is that if I have two CD 
Drives connected in the machine, booting from the CD will fail with a kernel 
panic. If I disconnect one of the CD drives (doesn't matter which one, as 
long as the Restore CD is in the drive that's connected), then life is good.
