i'm new to Pd, and am really anxious to dig deep on it, but my laptop

suggested hardware for Pd? would it run ok on an old pentium II? i'd
like to just pick up an old machine at the goodwill or on ebay, but
dont want to waste my time if Pd is CPU-intensive.
I've done a lot of working using PII 400 machines and you can do quite
a bit with them if you are not doing video processing or heavy audio
synthesis. I've used a Pentium 133 laptop to run a patch that
controlled 20 samples and it worked fine.
