There are two versions of mathematica for the Mac, one requires
a floating point co-processor and the other does not. The second
one (cheaper by a long way, but a lot slower for rendering etc..)
will run on an SE with 2.5MByte+ memory. From our local experience
I would not recommend that you run it on anything less than 4MB,
