It would probably run sdr-core in a headless configuration just
fine, however. What gobbles the cycles is the display, pure and
simple. DttSP was originally developed on a 533 MHz/256 Mb
Celeron, and it still runs there. Even better than before,
actually, thanks to improvements in the Linux kernel.
