KVM Host Hardware Requirements
CPU
Check out this article for a more thorough explanation http://linux-kvm.org/
Intel
Check for the vmx flag in /proc/cpuinfo
AMD
Check for the svm flag in /proc/cpuinfo
RAM
The KVM Host itself does not consume much memory. I belive it would be possible to boot the KVM Host with only 128M of RAM. It really depends on the memory requirements of the KVM Guests.
Disk
Not much diskspace is needed for the KVM Host. The reference system has a / partition of only 2G. This is really about the size of the KVM Guests. Another consideration is the software raid, which at least requires 2 disks.
Network Interfaces
At least 1 network interface is required for the system to make any sense at all. In theory it would run fine without a network interface, but using it would be a pain.
