I've got a Pentium 166MMX with 80MB of RAM that runs DSL, but you can't do much with it. In college I used Sun machines that had 8MB of RAM and you could run X. I mostly coded in C. When I think back on those times, I realise you would just run one little thing at a time and that would be great. Nowadays you have a browser open, maybe music playing, a big heavy editor, maybe a database client, VPN, etc.
