I haven't had any difficulties running NAT/Firewalling with a Pentium 90 
MHz with 48 Megs of RAM.  Currently, I am not running iproute2 or doing any 
shaping (just lurking to pick up information until I have a chance to 
recompile my kernel and give it a go)

I'm using ipchains and ipmasqadm

The machine is also running bind (to provide a local caching name server 
for my DNS requests) and xntp (to provide time 
synchronization).  Approximately 10 computers/workstations are connected on 
my local network and I have no services open to external connection other 
than incoming mail (port 25 which is forwarded to an internal mail server).
