Depending on the application, anywhere between a 486-40 and a Pentium2-300. The thing is a real antique. I think it dates from about 1990. Back in those days it was considered extremely fast, although you often had to fiddle the source code and compile options to get the best out of it. It was quite a strange machine, and the best optimisation tricks were often counter-intuitive. It would run Crafty well enough to beat most people easily, but not as well as a modern PC would. I don't have figures, because back in the days when i had access to one of these, Crafty hadn't been written yet.
