I've actually run CF on some pretty minimal hardware configurations, such as Sony and oqo UMPCs, over the last few years. If you just want to demo a site, you can certainly do this with an Atom machine, but it's going to be slow. I haven't tried installing a server OS on any of these, though. Looking at the minimum hardware requirements for Windows Server 2003, I think it'll let you install it. Memory is going to be the big limiting factor here, though, as 1 GB RAM just isn't a whole lot. I would recommend against this, though. Get something just a little bit beefier, and things will run much better.
