This is more than enough - I'd suggest a PIII/1GHz with 512MB RAM for those kind of needs, which is also a bit generous.

Network cards - YMMV, but I'd go for Intel EtherXpress Pro/100 for the 100Mbit, and something based on BCM57xx for the gigabit speeds. My experience dictates that for now the 2.4.30+ kernels are more suitable for tc/QoS setups. Hope it helped, Nickola
