We at GI recommend 64M of ram for our Centri firewall. We require
32M. It runs passingly well on 32, but most optimally at 64
Megs.
Also (from http://www/Global/centrifirewall.html):
:GI: Minimum Hardware/Software Requirements
:GI:
:GI: * 90+ MHz Intel CPU with minimum of 32M RAM
:GI: * Microsoft[TM] Windows NT 3.51 installed
:GI: * Suitable display with corresponding video card
:GI: * 2 GB hard disk drive
:GI: * CD-ROM drive
:GI: * 1.44 MB 3.5" floppy disk drive
:GI: * PCI network adapter
