Pentium 100 - 150 with 16MB has been adequate for most of our clients. The main area we have had a performance satisfaction problem has been with forms which contain a large number of controls which have taken upwards of 30 seconds to load on a Pentium 100.
Usually in these cases there were multiple pages on a pageframe containing a lot of text boxes, combos, lists etc.
The recommended way to reduce the load time in this situation seemed to be to only instantiate the controls on the first page of the pageframe at load time and create the rest as each page is selected. This spreads the load out and keeps the users happier.
Normally though, we recommend a minimum 150 MHz Pentium with 16MB ram.
Hope this helps.
