Not much. I help take care of a P1-200 with 96MB RAM that does
firewalling, NAT, shaping, and load balancing for a T1 and a 6000/600
ADSL line. It never comes close to having to work hard.

Use whichever one you expect to be stable -- you don't want to have to
deal with crashes. Otherwise, I would use the faster machine just
because it'll be quicker to set up and administrate.
