Puppy has been tested on a very old machines but the best results for the standard release of Puppy Linux to run at a reasonable pace have been achieved with the following:

- CPU : Pentium 166MMX
- RAM : 128 MB physical RAM for releases since version 1.0.2 or failing that a Linux swap file and/or swap partition is //required// for all included applications to run; 64 MB for releases previous to 1.0.2
- Hard Drive : Optional
- CDROM : 20x and up
