If you only want to do (static) routing without firewalling/NAT then an
old Pentium 100MHz with 64MB should do it. Concerning the HDD: get the
smallest you can buy nowadays.

In fact I want to manage the bandwitdth with Class Based Queueing with iproute2.
Perharps a 100Mhz CPU isn't powerfull enough ?

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).

I'm not quite sure but it could work. If you intend to by a new computer
than any will do (assuming that you cannot by anything less than a
PI-233)...

(Please answer below the quote and cut the irrelevant parts.)
We had set up a bandwidth managing router with a 3-level class tree, and
as far as we've seen, it works fine with a Pentium-90.
I recommend you should try it first.
