See this in the Puppy Forum....

What are the System Requirements for Puppy version 4.1.2?

*************************EXCERPT***********************

I think I read that Puppy is made to run on an intel 486 and higher, but in these forms I have heard of folks running it on older and minimal hardware.
Like 4G HD with 64mg of Ram!
I would suggest you just burn a live disc and boot it up and see what happens.
You will be amazed at how fast it is and how well it runs on old computers.
I have it on an 11 year old intel 586, and a celeron laptop and it runs great.
If you have any trouble booting the regular release try the retro one.

This is from the release notes;

Running the new kernel on old hardware
The 2.6.25.16 kernel should run just fine on very old hardware. I have tested on an old PC with Cyrix 6x86 CPU and 128MB RAM and it runs fine. I configured it very conservatively,


Edit; here is the full release notes;
