I have FreeBSD 4.9 running on a Dell Optiplex.  Not sure which model it is, 
but it's a 1.7GHz machine with a gig of ram, and it runs fine.  I also have 
it running on a Dell PowerEdge server with a 1 GHz processor, 1 gig of ram. 
Works fine there as well.

I can't imagine that you'd have any problems, especially since you don't 
care about sound and graphics.  Neither of the above-mentioned Dells have 
sound or X running on them.
