Depends on what you want to use it for.  I have successfully run
CentOS on PIIIs with as little as 256MB of memory, but with limited
functionality enabled, usually as a firewall, SAMBA server and/or web
server.  In all cases I took care during installation to install as
little software as possible, disable all unnecessary daemons and use
only the command line.
