Scribus can work on quite a range. I have an old PIII with 250MB of RAM 
and it works there, with expected sluggishness, and you have to be 
mindful of memory issues even with swap.

Perhaps your question ought to be something like what system people 
would buy if they intended using Scribus on it on a routine basis. 
Certainly anything that can run Vista gives you ample resources.

Personally, if/when I need a new computer, it will likely be a dual-core 
processor of some sort, have 1-2GB or more of RAM, and these solid state 
drives are certainly very attractive where available and affordable.
