I can ask them, they might know what the general setup is. Suppose there 
is only 2G of RAM. There will be lots os disk swapping, right? But 
nothing will actually blow up?

We can say they need to run on a machine with more RAM, but we probably 
shouldn't crash and burn. Any idea if 4G RAM would be okay for a setup 
like I describe? I really have no clue about this stuff.
