Without knowing what network you'll be analyzing (i.e. is it 10 machines 
on 10Mbps Ethernet or 1000 machines on Gigabit?) it's impossible to give 
you a recommendation that's based on anything.

At home I'm using a Celeron 400 with 384 RAM that also has many other 
duties (including the relaying of this message).  On a production 
network I use a 2.4GHz P4 that also has other duties (although all are 
administrative); and it sniffs on a Gigabit interface the traffic of 
about 6 servers.  I could probably put the Celeron in it's place and it 
wouldn't miss a beat.
