Everything that would run VMWare at a reasonable speed will do. Mind the
three-button mouse requirement...
Apart from that, I have an IBM NetVista here that runs p9 with less hick-up
than, say, FreeBSD :)
Make sure you get a geforce[23]/vanta video card -- still good for most
games, and it works great under Plan9. You mileage with a geforce4 may vary.

ps: the new IBM R30+ laptops all come with Radeon7500 graphics. If mine
arrives soon I may report on experiences with that :)
