What kind of fields?
Are it all text fields, or just short varchar/integer fields etc?

I don't know why not.
Ofcoarse you have to build your indices and as long as you don't do
weird stuff on your DB (don't try things like "textfield LIKE
'%blabla%'") it should work fine.
The kind of machine you need depends heavily on the type of data and
applications.
The basic rule for DB-machines are always the same though 'have enough
fast storage', 'have enough RAM', 'have enough CPU' (in that order).
A dual P4 Xeon/P3 with 4GB or more memory equiped with a pretty
raidcontroller having a lot of 10k rpm/15k rpm disks attached will do
fine for a lot of applications.
So if you want more specific answers, you'll have to be a bit more
specific to, otherwise noone can advise you more than just the basic
rules :)
