[PD] min hardware?

[Martin Peach]

I have pd 0.39.0 running at home on a Pentium MMX 200MHz machine under 
linux. I run it like "sudo pd -rt" for best performance. I don't try to 
process video but midi and sound work fine. Any machine will max out 
eventually if your patches get too big, and anyway, having limited 
resources is good discipline...
