I have a Firewall with quite some filtering that has a throughput of about 7MB/sec. It is a P-90 in a HX board with 32 MB and two fxp cards, so you definitivly don't need ninja macho pentium for this task (better give it to me :-). The thing is bootet from floppy and is a pure filtering router, no NAT, no applications/server, no proxies (which is suicide on a firewall anyway).
