I run xfce on an always on via pico itx system with a 1.2 gHz 1 core 
CPU, 2 GB of ram. It runs perfectly fine. Sure if you want to run a 
browser with many tabs open you may soon start to use swap, but that's 
the browser's fault and general web bloat.

System also runs an email server, source repository and various other 
things. It plays video fine as well, due to hardware decoding.

Something like this would be a useful upgrade:

Take minimum specs with a grain of salt.
