I guess I will have to buy a new board that takes PCI cards, mine are ISA and just not fast enough. I had ipsec running, but never used it.

If it's just a plain router/firewall without ipsec, a Pentium 166 with some decent (pci) NICs and at least 16 Mbyte should be more than enough. I'm running LEAF on a WRAP, which has a 233 Mhz fast core i486 processor and it's working very good. If you use something like ipsec, openvpn or ospf, you may need some more CPU power and memory.
