Before I go to the trouble of setting it all up, is it possible?

Cheers,

I run almost exactly these off an old desktop PC in the observatory. It has about 700mb of ram and a 30g HD + an external HD.
My set up is an EQ6 running EQMOD via Skymap Pro 6, QHY guider, SBIG ST9E (parallel) or an ST10XME (USB).
All works perfectly well.
You don't need a powerful computer to run this stuff. The power is needed for processing images not taking them.
