Actually, while 256m is a bit low, he does have the cpu power for
gnome and orca. I'm running gnome and orca here on a 1.1GHz Celeron
with 512M of ram. Though it is a bit sluggish, it does run, and well
enough to be practical for everyday use at that. I will also say that
I have tried running gnome and orca on a virtual machine inside of
virtualbox with 256M of ram, and it does run too, though more
sluggishly then natively with 512M of ram. I'm not sure if it runs more
sluggishly because of the lower amount of ram, or because of the
additional overhead that running a vm puts on the cpu.
