====================
I run an Athlon thunderbird 750 w/256mb of ram.  I can pretty much run whatever I'd like, but typically I run E w/o an "environment" or more often, BlackBox.  With either E, or BlackBox I can run virtually all KDE or Gnome apps w/o all the rest of the baggage.  Even w/ my laptop (Celeron 500 w/128m of RAM) I can run KDE or Gnome, but prefer E or BlackBox.
Just MHO,
Mike
