A frequent question I get is: What's the minimum recommended client?.
My basic answer to this question is: Anything with a PCI bus and 32mb of ram.
LTSP Clients do not require any specific hardware as such but for two requirements. First, the RAM on the Client should be good enough (128MB is a better choice) and the Second is that there should be Network boot facility present in the BIOS of the motherboard and moreover the NETWORK card (along with the BOOTROM) should be supported by the motherboard as i faced some problems when using the network card on the old motherboard. Moreover, we should be very careful if the card is present in the DRIVER database of the OS as many cards are although supported but we need to specify the exact driver which the client requires (in case we are using different cards on different clients).
