Hi Niki,
I've built a CentOS 7 i686 liveCD, just as a PoC , some time ago and I
tested it on a Pentium 4 / 2.8Ghz and 1Gb of ram :

While it "works" it's quite slow so probably better then to stick with
CentOS 6 and wait for something lighter than Gnome3/Gnome-shell as
Desktop Environment (xfce/mate/$other)
Cheers,
