Your stated configuration is plenty for 5 to 10 users. I have a similar setup that runs ~40 users (with e-mail, internet connection, and samba) that still cracks on rc5 at 500000 keys per second. You'll probably be happier with your investment if you spend the few extra dollars to go with the 300 and the 8ns memory, but it isn't necessary.
