LS itself should run on pretty much any hardware/Windows version. I don't know if the core has become more demanding over the years, but back when I first tried LS some nine years ago I had a Pentium 100MHz with 16 (or maybe 24) megs of RAM and some truly sh!tty S3 gfx card, and IIRC that worked fine. 500MHz and 64MB RAM shouldn't be a problem, as long as you use some lighter theme (I guess you don't want LS eating like 30MB of your precious RAM).
What you need to be aware of is that newer themes may be incompatible with Win 9x, due to heavy usage of alphatransparent effects (and the fact that themers really don't make their themes compatible with 9x anymore). In fact, I don't even know if the xModules will run at all on 9x. But the default theme [Austerity] should work, and from there you could start looking for some older, 9x-compatible themes, when you know how/if LS runs.
