I am planning to deploy a Terminal Server, which is also going to act as an Internet Gateway/Router to the Internet. It has 2 NICs. Its a Dell Dimension B110 Intel Celeron 2.53 GHz with 768 DDR PC 3200 RAM. Will this be good or is it too slow. I am planning to run software like download software and AIM on it and there will be like 5-6 users logged in concurrently.
Before, I was using a VMware on my Domain Controller, which is a Pentium D 3.4 GHz. The VMware only had 512 MB of RAM.
So, Will my Celeron system be good enough (i don't really like Celerons) or should I go back to using my VMware on the Pentium D Domain Controller?

You really don't have enough ram in the server to consider running as a router and TS.
All of our TS servers have 4gig of ram. Never skimp on RAM. It's the dance floor everyone plays on including the OS.
Highly advise you place a router in front of your TS server and not have it do routing/nat. Better security and better performance.

Thats what I'm doing right now. I am using my Linksys Router. However, I have a VMware on my DC, acting as a terminal server with only 512 MB of RAM. My main DC has 2 Gigs of RAM.
Problem is using my router is that I can't do Windows VPN into my network using my router, so I gave up on my linksys router and I want to use Routing and Remote Access. Problem with this now is that I can't access my Internet IP Address internally maybe because of Split Horizon or something? Now I am back to using my linksys router agains and I am stuck. What should I do here in order to be able to do VPN smoothly?
About my Terminal Server, I don't know about that because I believe I get better performance with better processor in it, the VMware has been running fast even though its 512 MB of RAM and it wasn't as fast on my Dell since its a Celeron. My DC with 2 GB of RAM is a Pentium D 3.0 GHz System.
