How much hardware for home? Atom or higher?

Hi all,

I am about to build my first Astaro security gateway box for my home but I don't want to be held back by slow hardware. My plan is to run the following functions at home:

15MB FIOS connection
Dual anti-virus
IPSEC (maybe Windows?) remote access VPN (1 user)
Spyware protection
DMZ (or VLAN) for guest WiFi
URL Filtering

Will a dual core Atom (BOXD525MW) be up to the task? 
It sounds like CPU and memory are the two critical items to be concerned about.  Will moving from 2GB to 4GB or ram make much of a difference? Do I need a fast hard drive for anti-virus scanning or other functions?

Thanks,
-Aaron
