The problem with minimum specs is what people are prepared to put up with.  A 700 MHz PIII Celeron with 256 MiB of PC100 RAM and a 100 MHz drive is quite usable.  A 200 MHZ PIII Celeron and 128 MiB of 66MHz RAM with a 33 MHz drive is dog slow.  If you add a screen reader into the mix I think the later set-up would become unusable.  I'll try this later and see.
