Well such a job does not require a hi-tech equipment...
You only need to be able to run Pep designer and Blender at the same time. Both are not much greedy.
Models are light (the most often under 1Mo, almost mever more than 10), textures (if any) are simple jpg, a ten years old computer can readily handle everything.
I used an old PC based upon a Celeron 2.6 single-core on a P4M800 motherboard embedding a common intergated small graphics proce, 2x512Mo ram, under windows 2000, and would still be using it today if I hadn't encountered two or three substantial issues :
- Blender totaly dislike every VIA chipsets,
- my config was not powerfull enough to play any fullscreen vid on youtube,
- no way to edit a video, even with the smallest editor software...
So I replaced almost every part for an overall much better config : ATI chipset, 8Go DDR3ram, AthlonII X2 270 3.4Ghz, still intergrated GPU. It's a cheap config, one could say already outdated, but at least it rocks a million times more !
In one word, I guess any few years old computer or laptop can go well, if it's VIA-free.
