Out of curiosity, I made a virtual computer as similar as possible to my old old test computer, with 115 Megabytes of memory, and severely limited CPU allocation. The resulting machine has less usable memory and less cpu performance than my real computer. It seems to be working fine, and I have not been able to crash the web browser.
Myself, I think an interesting data point would be pq...'s computer with 128 Megabytes, but a faster CPU.
