My guess is that you will certainly not run into any problems. I run tor 
on 400 MHz AMD K6-II (a generation before AMD ATHLON), with 128 RAM and 
a 100 Mbit connection to the internet and it goes fine (Average load ~ 
1.00). You must of course know in advance that the volume of traffic is 
huge! My server's in + out traffic is ~30 GB /day ! Of course if your 
server resides at a university's campus you won't have any problem with 
bandwidth usage...
