Re: What are the minimum PC to run these effects?

It depends on what effects you're talking about. The most basic (and most useful) composite goodies should work flawlessly on an ancient TNT2 and a 300MHz CPU :). I have myself seen compiz work like a charm (and with negligible CPU usage) on my friend's old Pentium II with S3 Savage4 accelerator (not as powerful as a TNT2, though with comparable capabilities). If you have a PS 2.0 capable GPU like FX5200, you won't have any problems with any effects :). Compositing a desktop is really no burden even for very old graphics accelerators.
