Just an FYI, I am able to run Kanotix 2005.04 (running it Live, mind you!!) with KDE 3.4 on an old P3 600MHz laptop with 128MB ram and no swap! It's no speed demon, but it runs.
On this same machine, KDE requires less RAM (at idle) after install than my recent addition of Enlightenment dr17 does, which uses 60% of my RAM just for e17's "lightweight" modular "desk shell" to sit there looking oh-so-pretty...
