My company recently upgraded our internet connection and I need to set up shaping. I was wondering , what are the CPU and RAM requirements for shaping 768/768 DSL line ?

It all depends on how complicated you want your shaping setup to be and how many
clients you have to serve. For example, in my home network with 5 client
machines (and something like 10 classes / 5 filters per client), the old PII
machine with 128MB of RAM I was using for this task was 95% idle all of the
time...

If you have thousands of classes and just as many filters, it probably would be
different, though.

I have a few old P III's (450 MHz, 256 RAM) and some VIA Eden (533 MHz, 512 RAM) boxes lying around. Which one would be most appropriate ?

I think it's quite safe to say that in a normal setup any of these should be
more than sufficient.
