I run every slot full, so 6 rides, 5/6 cymbals, hats, snare, 5 toms (3 rack, two floor), a kick, a splash and a spock. And without TPC it runs that at like 1.7gb of ram...with TPC it runs at 236mb. I have a PowerBook G4 and a dual 2.0 G5, most of the time I'm running stuff on the powerbook with a 1.3ghz cpu and 768mb of ram and not a problem yet.

Mutant- the consenus is dont run it unless you have >= 1gig of ram and a fairly hot processor. For a start, with only 512 megs of memory yeh, you'll load the kit- but you wont be able to run any plugins on it lol... so it'll probably sound like a remote hitting a desk at rapid sequenced speed (had to bring that one back out for ya 006 hahaha).
Anyway, ram is cheap, you'll pickup a 512 mb stick for about £25 at the moment. As for that duron i really dont think it would hack a fully plugged mix- its an ancient cpu - back in the days of the athalon xp, and it was a budget version of that even... with a Morgan core and about 64KB L2 cache or maybe a little more. Hell my 64 bit amd at the moment is running at speeds of the 3700+ chip with a 512kb l2 and i reckon only just about cuts it tbh

I am running DFHS with only 512 RAM, however I bounce my drums before I process them. I have no problems running it though. I much prefer to bounce it into its own files anyway than to process the feeds out of it. Id still highly recommend DFHS even if you are only on 512.

Bouncing them does indeed sound better - get to work with the 24bit audio with no sampler running. I still write the guitar parts along with the drums, and just record scratch parts to the unmixed drums. Once I finish the song, I bounce the drums, and rerecord the guitars. Works like a charm.
I bounce first too. I only have 768mb of RAM and I run a completely full kit on DFHS with TPC/16-bit on and it's at 232MB. I also do not use any bleeding though, that cuts it down substantially, but that's a common-sense thing to do anyway, you don't need the bleeding there when you are just programming, that's just a waste of RAM.
