Have just played with QEMU (Debian qemu/2.1+dfsg-5+b1);
the current Debian daily image (20141111-00:26)
begins to boot without panic starting from 144 MiB of QEMU's RAM.

I can recommend Sun Ultra 5 & Ultra 10 :)
These systems can have max. 1 GiB of RAM
(usually come with 128, 256 or 512 MiB, but fortunately upgradeable).
BTW, 64-bit CPU with max. 440 MHz clock is great too :)
