FreeBSD will also run inside of a VMWare instance, or a VirtualBox
machine (or qemu or a bunch of others).  I use that all the time to
develop FreeBSD.

Anything more modern than a Penitum 2 will work.  Anything built in
the last 3 years will work pretty well.  Nahalem's work even better :)

You'll need about 1GB or so of disk space.  If you are provisioning a
VM, 512MB of RAM or more is recommended.
