In my original question I stated minimum resources.  I agree with you that
lots of memory could be highly useful: "... I would say a computer with
perfect software, 32 GB of RAM (so a lot) and a 300 Mhz processor (slow
processor) would be able to beat a human." (from my original post)

So it sounds to me like most people think that if we had a perfect program,
computers would be able to win.  So at this point hardware will only allow
us to get away with writing less perfect code.

Since no one has mentioned bounding memory, a complete lookup table (a
complete table of correct moves, perfect-hashed by board state) should do
the trick.
