i had a 150 mhz pentium laptop (before i destroyed it) and pure data would not run on it. i mean it would launch..and then take over 100% cpu and be more or less useless. this was with win95, and also with debian. you're welcome to give it a shot, perhaps if you use the -noadc or -noaudio flags you will get better results. pd is quite usable on my 262mhz powerMac however...(also running debian)
