We got Breezy to run on a 266MHz/128Mb desk top machine.  It was rather 
slow but usable. Open office bordered on painful though.  Abiword runs 
OK, once it's loaded, and the documents aren't to big.  A 164 page 
document brought it to it's knees.  We didn't do any tweaking to the 
standard install to try and speed things up.
