I've used HP Thin Clients as embedded hosts for Asterisk. The T5700 models that I have are 1 GHz CPUs, more recent models should be able to run a soft phone without too much trouble. They all have local USB ports, making USB headsets as good solution.
Another alternative might be to used a soft phone implemented as a web plug-in or activex object. Tim Panton of PhoneFromHere.com has a great Java soft phone object that we use to make G.722 calls to the ZipDX conference bridge for the VoIP Users Conference every week.
