You can turn the 3d graphics off and any video card that supports at least 800 x 600 will do.
Why don't you buy a PC for the job?

It kind of runs okish on a p3-800 with 512mb of ram and a Geforce 3 with all the gubbins turned to low.
I'm currently using it on a P4-3.2 dual core with 2048Mb of RAM and an ATI Radeon 1600 with 256Mb of RAM with all the stuff turned on and it's kind of sh1te. MacOS X is much less clunky.
