I have ran servers on 98 2000 and XP . I currently run a server for my family and friends with a 98 machine ( 1 GHz cpu , 512 133 MHz Ram ,15 GB hard drive and a 10 Mbit nic card ) .
Running
EQEMU 4.4
Mysql 3.23.56
5 zones ( usually 3 running 2 sleeping )
Have had 8 people raiding on it ( POF PON POT. During intense battle the lag bar will come up a little but thats all. No strange happings . No crashing .
Dont be fooled . Sure it would be nice to a slamin server...but a good ole machine can run a fine server .
So IMHO ... Go for it .
