WinAmp will run on a P60, and I dont think that Pentium PC's go below a 60Mhz Clock speed. 486's are next in line, but the least yuo'd be able to do would probably be a 40Mhz DX based m/c. SX machines just wouldnt handle the decoding I think... May be wrong though.
I'd use SoriTong on a PC that's less than a P75. 75Mhz will do for WinAmp, but it starts lagging after that and needs quality settings tuned down.

So, What machine are you trying to run it on anyway?

96207 2002-11-06 01:54:00 try coolplayer or zinf. both free. zinf is a little bit more functional than coolplayer, but they are both pretty light, especially coolpayer.
zinf from www.zinf.org and coolplayer from www.daansystems.com

drwback of them both: no graphic equalizers

96208 2002-11-06 02:00:00 Mmm... SoriTong has Equalizer, Playlist Editor, Viz studio and skinnable! Chilling_Silence (9)
96209 2002-11-06 05:42:00 er, better late than never I guess... try MusicMatch Jukebox - excellent player!

And if you want all the bells and whistles and are prepared to spend a little dosh (US$29.95), then go for the upgrade - MusicMatch JukeboxPlus. Thoroughly recommend it.
