It is so low in overhead, that for one or two radio systems, you can run it on a 5-year-old laptop. Did that for a couple years till I migrated to an old minitower that was displaced by an iMac for the better half. I reboot it every couple months just because, but, there are plenty of systems out there with bodacious uptime numbers. Picked up a couple fresh-loaded Dells at a hamfest a couple months ago; they run the software fine. Even running it on an 8-year-old IBM minidesktop with 4 gig of ram and a 1.2 gig processor. Don't overthink it or over subscribe/complicate it. Works fine on old iron up to a point. And keeps those processors processing.
