> It is for the above reasons I am revisiting the suitability of pg. As stated my DB App will be single user offline use, small, about 20 tables, and many of those will be just short 'picklists' triggered by Form input for easier-validated dataentry. I notice the FAQ, User Manual, & neither of the 2 replies directly addresses my primary question: "If Atom class nettop not sufficient, would like to know the minimum class of CPU, RAM, GPU required." Is it quite difficult to make even a rough recommendation of minimum hardware for the above 'small' db ?

For single user personal use small database any modern (down to 5
years old) nettop will be more than enough. I would recommend 256MB as
the bottom limit of RAM. See also this link
