As long as it has more than 8MB, Emacs will do just fine.

  I thought it was 80MB and even then you're constantly swapping. (I had 32MB of RAM on the computer I learned Emacs on and it was totally fine.)

    When Emacs came to be, you'd be lucky to have a 80MB hard disk, let alone main memory. :)

So can my Amiga 500, even in unexpanded configuration. But it's microEmacs. Still, it is of course GUI (like nearly everything on the Amiga), and it works fine. It shipped in the AmigaOS 1.3 extras floppy. Probably also bundled in other versions.
