>From personal experience, I can say that ogg123 and xmms run fine on a Pentium
166 MHz as long as you have enough RAM to prevent swapping from occuring
during playback (depends on what else you are running).  I think a Pentium 100
MHz would be the minimum requirement for reliable playback in Linux and the
current decoders.
