I haven't fired it up in a couple years, but I have an "emergency spare" 6 MHz 
286 which ran TRLOG just fine.  Dupe check was a bit slow by the end of the 
contest, and I never tried SCP with it.  Of all the logging software, TRLOG is 
surely the least demanding of the hardware.  I currently use a still-primitive 
33 MHz 486, which has no problems at all up to at least 2,500 QSO's.  Unless I 
figure out how to make a lot more contacts, or learn to type a whole lot faster, 
a faster machine wouldn't help a bit.  If you want to dedicate a computer to 
contest logging, you could probably get one of these for practically nothing. 
Some people might even pay you to haul it away.
