Less than 1 GB RAM. (Yep, I know that sucks. Lol!)
Lmms 1.1.3.

Interesting! I actually thought that 2 gb was needed, you dont have even 1 on your XP, and lmms runs..!
Interesting!
Yep. In my case, I
unfortunately have to use
Lmms 1.1.3 portable, (which I also have originally loaded my pendrive)
on this low end PC.
Even I was surprised that Lmms 1.1.3 portable, was also so CPU light, on this poor PC, with
512mb of
RAM.
It's magic.
The reason why, I'm using Lmms portable, is because for some strange reason, any time I try to install an antivirus or any other software that comes with an installer etc. on this PC. It wouldn't install or it wouldn't load.
And all sorts of strange problems happens.
Part of that, has to do with the fact that this PC was once ridiculously virus ridden.
Good thing I destroyed all of the viruses on it, with
Clamwin portable.

But, I might have to do a full OS reinstall.
I can use about
five Synth 1's on this PC, together with a few Lmms plugins and a few audio files.
If I do too much, like for eg.
make too many note melody segments in the
song editor, slow down occurs
when playing my tracks in Lmms.
Because of this limitation, I discovered/learned some cool tricks in Lmms, to prevent slowdown.
I must say, that
B n B editor really comes in handy and is a big blessing. Lol!
The other thing, is that when you close Lmms 1.1.3 portable, on this PC, it freezes this poor PC.
So I learned a trick to prevent freezing.
Brandy Tip: If you're unfortunate to have a bad PC like me and you're somehow running
Lmms Portable 1.1.3.
1)Immediately after closing it.
2)Wait a quick sec,
click on your screen.
3) Then repeatedly press
F5 to refresh the page multiple times.
4)
Wait another sec, then
repeatedly press F5 again as back up.
That'll prevent the annoying freeze ups.

On another note:
I just tried a few times, to load
Odin 32 bit via Vestige.
I got this message:
Hmmm,....this is an interesting problem. It wouldn't load on my side too.
