Rep:
Everything there should work just fine.
You do not tell the graphic nor the network cards.
Is it a laptop ? if yes, you'd rather tell us the model.
In any cases, the simplest way to figure out if a machine will work with Solaris is to pick a live CD Open Solaris based distro, and ask the vendor to try booting it on a demo machine.
