Sorry, yeah, you said 256MB RAM.  It was 800 to 1 ghz for the processor.
Brain synapses crossed for a second. ;) But still, same point with the
amount of RAM and processor you listed.  I highly doubt the processor knwos
there is a program running on it. ;)

It does all come down to waht you have laying around.  I guess I just wanted
to portray that ANY Pentium II+ hardware you have laying about will make an
adequate firewall and there are no significant hardware requirements.
