That answer is going to vary greatly with the application itself. I've written big applications that require 500 MB of RAM to do all their processing. One good way to gage minimum requirements is to look at how the application performs on the development PC. Use your Task Manager to show the available RAM before you run the executable and when its running. Generally speaking, I don't recommend anything less than the hoursepower of the development PC. What I can say is that I haven't had any showstopping issues with any of my oun applications compiled by LabVIEW 7 on my PIII 800 with 512 MB of RAM and W2kPro.
Of course, there's always trial and error. I would avoid operating systems older than 4 years.
