It depends on what you are doing. I've got single board computers running happily with 512MB of RAM. I certainly wouldn't want to try and run a GUI on them though.
You might not remember that the original Macintosh had 128KB. That's KB with a K.
Our 90s Mac ran OS 7.6 with 24 MB of ram and a 500MB HD.
Played shareware/warez games pretty well too, even OG Warcraft over 56k dialup direct to my friend’s PC.
