I dunno about that specific model, but I have seen 2.2.6 on a Dell P2-266,
64 meg sdram, 3 gig ide hard disk with a 4 meg ATI Rage II onboard video
card and it liked things pretty well.  It was using a 3COM but I am not
sure which.   I don't know about sound.

I think it was a Dimension.  If not it was an Omniplex(?).
