Not really, but the minimums in the docs, and even the recommended, really don't do all that well:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/pdf/A95494_01.pdf . 128M definitely doesn't make it in my experience. The minimums in that doc don't include CR, of course.

All my customers machines that I use for clients have at least 500M and 2.4GHz, and I do have a vague memory of being very happy getting rid of slower things.
