Can't find much from google but what's the min spec laptop for running dsd?

I've an old laptop that I can spare its a Sony tx3xp 1.2ghz single core but not sure if it is fast enough.
Still trying to wrap my head around dsd but just curious at the moment because of the good reviews from the new dacs.

The following link gives more details of the laptop

You mean to play SACD discs or to play native DSD files?
DSD bitstreams are really really really slow compared what any modern processor of the last 10 years runs at and is capable of. It might be more of a question as to what else you'll be running on the processor while playback is happening.

I'll be playing native dsd files into a dac.
The laptop is a spare lying in my cupboard so it will be permanently connected to the dac and only used as a player.
Just checking the price of dsd files and they do seem pretty expensive but would like to try after reading the reviews.
