100 MHz Pentium 1 is fast enough to serve two computers.  I guess you can
keep an eye on the "Kernel Processor Usage (%)" to see if it's starting to
max out.

My old Compaq Prosignia VS upgraded to a AMD5x86 133Mhz processor (somewhere
equivalent to 70Mhz pentium) maxes out CPU at about 6 - 7 megabits routed
through it. That's an aggregate total of 14 megabits per second. I think it
will still be a few years before consumer broadband connectivity has
progressed to the point where I need to buy a faster router machine :-)
Perhaps one with PCI slots then...
