That hardware should be sufficient. I was running a firewall on an old Pentium 4 box for some time, it is still sitting here waiting to be reinstalled. The firewall I used was Untangle, it is free for personal use, with extended features costing. Untangle is Debian based but supplied as an appliance application, it boots up as the firewall and then you configure things such as logging, inbound nic, outbound nic, dmz, etc via a console or web interface.
