I have used GCC4 builds regularly on the following 3 configurations
(from memory, so i apologize if i get something wrong):

Dell Optiplex GX270
2.8ghz P4
1gb RAM
Intel Pro 1000 network
Intel i845 video
AUICH audio

Dell Inspiron 1100
2.0ghz Celeron P4
1gb RAM
Broadcom 440x network
Intel i865 video
AUICH audio

Core 2 Duo 2.66ghz
2gb RAM
RTL8168 gigabit network
Intel G33 video
HDA audio (i haven't even hooked up speakers to see if this works, tbh)

I have several other machines that I use Haiku on occasionally, but
these are the only 3 I know i've tested GCC4 versions on successfully.

It is stable enough for me to run 24x7 for days on end, and compile
software on - just last night I used the laptop to compile curl and
mprime while using firefox, pe, and vision without many issues. I did
hit some assertion KDLs in the broadcom 440x driver, but I think these
are already known, and i was able to continue out of KDL from them - a
reboot mostly made them go away, and I suspect it was caused by my
flaky network jack on the laptop continually causing link changes.
