That CPU should be good for ~15mbps throughput if you're not loading
it with vpn and such. You will have to double the RAM though. Have you
checked

for minimum requirements? Also look at

for a better idea of how far your hardware will go.

That's not very much RAM. If it doesn't use any packages, and no VPNs,
it might work. Barely.

But it will probably waste more money in power costs in a year than a
newer, more efficient (and faster) unit.
