Yes, you don't really access the disk at all. You need a bit of RAM,
especially if you have persistent connections. 128 MiB is enough for
most people, specify 256 MiB and it's enough for even the busiest
sites. A 300 MHz CPU is fine.
There is some information in the HOWTO if you want to calculate RAM
requirements exactly.
