I've been using Mint on a Dell Inspiron i3 with 4GB for a couple of
years without any problems.

I normally have 20 workspaces open, on which I always have at least 2
shell windows open, as well as Firefox, emacs (usually 2 or 3 frames
as well as one instance as root), alpine and slrn each in its own
shell window, Gentoo file manager, audacious, often xboard, etc....
