You may want to check each chipset in your computer for
compatability.

Such specs are enough. I run FreeBSD + X on much less. But as jb_fvwm2 said, you need to check all your chipsets.
If you want to install it, use the disc1 ISO, but if you want a Live CD, use the livefs ISO.

The system I am on right now is an 500mhz machine with 384 megs ram, running 7.1 and icewm. My FreeBSD slice is 15 gig.
