If you barely meet the minimum requirements, you will most likely not be satisfied with the performance.
OS X doesn’t like being run on a hard drive without a certain amount of free space and will generate “insufficient memory” error messages if the OS doesn’t have room to write virtual memory to. If the OS cannot save correctly, you could lose some of your files.
