I was until recently running my dual obs on a couple of old Core 2 Duo PCs, one with 2GB RAM (running Vista Business) and the other with 4GB running Win7 Pro. Software included SGP, CdC, & PHD2. I was also running a local astrometry.net server there for a while too.
When those PCs finally died a few months back (both being about 6-7 years old), i decided to move my setup to linux/INDI. The new configuration sees my deep sky setup running on a Raspberry Pi 2 (running the latest Raspbian OS), and the lunar setup running Ubuntu Mate 15.04 on a very old P4 with 1.5 GB of RAM.
Moral of the story being that (in my experience at least) you don't need high end hardware to control obs equipment.
