Some years back I used to run Smoothwall/GPL as a home firewall/router
on things such as 90 MHz pentiums (with 64 or even 128 MB RAM), or at
one point a 500 MHz AMD K6, and it had no load problems at all handling
the 3 or 4 of us here who share the household LAN. Therefore I'd think
that something such as an Atom would be entirely up to the task. There
are a number of (relatively) inexpensive Atom boards in a Micro-ATX or
Mini-ATX format that you could use, for example.
