The latest rig that I've run 98SE on is a Intel P3 (440GX) with 2GB of

reduce the amount of memory to something reasonable.
Drivers, I think would be the stumbling block on modern hardware. I'd
use VirtualBox in any case to deal with that issue. I've certainly done
with other old systems.
Windows 98 worked fine with a 1.4GHz Tualatin Pentium III (socket 370) and
i815e chipset. It also worked just fine on a Pentium 4 and I suspect would
work with a Pentium D or Core Duo using only one CPU core.
Windows 98 was supposed to support a maximum of 2GB of memory, however it
has a bug in the Vcache driver which causes problems unless you limit the
memory it can use to 1 or 1.5GB.
