Well, of course it does work, but if you intend to use C++ rather
than C and if you write large pieces of code, I would not call that
"run" but rather "creep". For C++ development I would
not recommend
less than a 486/100 (better a Pentium/133) and at least 20 MB of RAM.

For pure C development these requirements are not true. 12 MB and
a 486/33 will do, although, again, I would recommend 16 MB and a
486/66 or better to speed up the compiler performance. The larger
the project grows the more system resources are needed.

Tschuess,
