minimum requirements?

I cant find any documentation on what would be a starting point for cpu/mem requirements. The machines spare machines i have rummaged up for this project are the following:
1. The sensor that will be running snort (266mhz pent2 with 396meg ram).The sensor is on a ipf/openbsd bridge with 3 interfaces. 2 of the interfaces will be in bridge mode with no ip address. Of the 2 stealth interfaces only one, the one connected to the cable modem, will be running as a snort sensor and will have no firewall rules associated with it as i want to see everything and filtering would make the snort sensor usless. The other stealth interface will be connected to the nat router from my lan and will not be a sensor but will have some filters applied to it.
Is the above acceptable for a cable modem 10/100 network?2. The PureSecure Console running mysql and apache. note: server will not be running snort, the main sensor is the box mentioned above. The machine i have picked up for this is a (500mhz amd with 256 megs of pc-100 ram and a 80gig ata100 hd.) is this enough power for currently one sensor and maybe another latter?
The OS i have chosen for the sensor (bridge) is OpenBSD 3.1.The OS i have chosen for the Mysql database and apache server is Redhat linux 7.2, because there will be another app running on this box that only runs on rdh linux...so i have to use it. The app does not use much cpu/memory sometime i cant even tell its running because it has such a small foot print.
Any advice, help, guidance would be appreciated. Have a great day.
