I am running KDE full time off of a 6 year-old laptop featureing an i54xxu and an integrated HD4400. I'd say anything older and not intelish might be problematic but I have no problems running all the bells and whistles of those sweet animations and wobbly windows. Gnome still leaks and Nautilus is still an old asthmatic tractor though. Nautilus is 50% of the reasons why I switched to kubuntu and I still keep on using awesome-wm when sysadmining. edit: Now that I think about it I also upgraded to an SSD some months after switching to KDE so maybe gnome is way snappier on that same machine and I wouldn't feel the same about it. Frankly, I seem to remember the KDE harware thing is like 15 years old.
