This configuration should be large enough. You should however be aware that in our experience with OnLine 7.x on PCs using SCO Unix it sometimes (depending on what you do) can hog the CPU. It will run and should run ok, but you should check the CPU utilisation (using cpqmon if you have it, or u386mon otherwise). If it is too high there are some tuning you can do. If you upgrade the hardware you should go to a 200 MHz Pentium Pro.
