My tests have shown the following to be reliable for installation, with the Beta2 ISO.  The CPUs are the slowest I have of that type.  None of the machines had on-board graphics.  The HDD sizes are for a single disk in the machine and really need to be larger to actually do anything useful.  All machines ran OK with the lowest amount of RAM, although the PII wasn't powerful enough to run Flash.
