And unless not much RAM is really small, like 64MB, you should be OK with that too. I set up a client with OpenVPN on IPCop on a Celeron 500 with 256MB RAM if I recall correctly. He had a remote sales guy connecting every day for three years with very few problems. You won’t have a problem with CPU.

You can add painfully difficult to configure and operate to slow and expensive. I won't say that my current solution is blindingly fast, but it does as well as anything of its class that I have seen.
