    This cannot be predicted as long as you don't know what kind of
    setup you want to run (simple file server, domain controller
    ...), what kind of people are going to use it (people at work
    will kill you if their files aren't available, especially
    that kind who always forget their passwords) and how big the
    traffic on your server is.

    So I would recommend to test your setup privately on some old
    machine that can install FreeBSD and then ask again for hardware
    requirements.

    Regards,

    Uli.
