Honestly hardware of 1999-2001 is so dated that its hard to make adequate comparisons. To put it simply, your smartphone has a higher processing power than the computers required to run classic EQ. Now Titanium requires a bit newer hardware due to the updated client, but even the Titanium client is from 2006.
You are more likely to run into issues with TOO GOOD of hardware (see the Tech Support Forum threads about using WinEQ2 to force EQ to only utilize a single processor core) and incompatibility with newer OSes than you are with having hardware that can't play EQ.
