The problems you will have will be that you'll get to the point where playing your song from the timeline (as opposed to rendering) will get choppy and skip with fewer tracks than would be possible on a faster machine. Also, rendering will take longer. Probably the most critical thing to watch out for is that if you are recording a track while playing back other tracks, you may have troubles capturing all the samples without dropping any. You'll just have to try it and see how it goes. Basically, Sonic Foundry's recommendation of a 400MHz machine simply means that you'll have a smoother, more productive, and enjoyable experience with a computer that fast or better. It doesn't mean that the software simply won't run on a slower computer.

I think you will be so limited in what you can do, that the Pro version would be a waste. I can't see how it would handle more than a few tracks playing with effects added to the tracks. Let us know how it turns out.
