Well, I would go at least for a 64-bit system. Otherwise even the 
little money is sunk money. So a 64-bit Mac-Mini should do the job.

I think the 32bit version will work on such a system. IMO the 
requirements are not that demanding.

However, I think after some time you like an OSX environment for 
development. It's a quite nice blend of good usability with a Unix 
flavour at hand. Won't change back to anything else until Apple becomes 
the next Microsoft.
