Welcome, Craig.

I have only been using Scribus for a short time, so I only have one data point
to give you.  I used Scribus to create a 32-page program for my barbershop
chorus' show which included a lot of graphics and some text.  I used 
a 1GHz iMac
with 512 MB RAM with no problems.

Also, to help you get up to speed,  you might want to check out 
http://www.scribus.net.
There is an on-line users guide 
(http://146.87.55.6:82/documentation/topics.html)
and a great tutorial, http://146.87.55.6:82/docs/index.html.  The 
tutorial is a translation
of the original French that was based on version 0.4.8.  A lot has 
changed in the dialog boxes
since then, so you'll have to adapt, but it will give you a good 
flavor for the capabilities of
Scribus.  If you know French, there are more tutorials based on 
version 1.something
by the same person at  http://www.yeccoe.org/docs/scribus/scribus.html.

Good luck.  I've been very pleased with Scribus.
