Since the source for all platforms is almost the same, I think you can gues=
s=20
the minimum system requirements from my experience:

I'm running PostgreSQL 9.1.3 on a 400 MHz MIPS processor, which has got a=
=20
processing power equal of a 140 MHz P4. The PostgreSQL server consumes 8=20
Megabytes of RAM just after starting it, and by default it uses 32 MB of=20
shared memory. My installation package after compiling the source is 24 MB.
As you can see, the requirements are quite low, it's hard to find a reliabl=
e=20
working PC which is not faster and better than the above one.
