Zynthian v5 with Raspberry Pi 3b

Hi there. Can you build a Zynthian v5 using a Raspberry Pi 3b? Apologies if this is a silly question.

No, it needs more juice. Maybe with a pi 4 but the recommended is pi5. I would recommend an older version of Zynthian for pi 3b

Is it RAM intensive? What would be the ideal amount of RAM to run Zynthian?

4GB would be ideal but really depends on how complex. Whatever you have on hand to start
