The issue is not so much the processor performance, more the supported memory.

NG firewall really needs at least 128M of RAM. It can run in 64M, but it is very sloooooowwwwwwww because IPSO ends up 'thrashing' the hard disk with the virtual memory.

If you want both firewall and management CP recommend 256M or more...

The easiest way to find what they have installed if they can be powered up is to look at the boot sequence:

Resizing packet buffers: mbufs 15360 clusters 7680

releng 848 10.08.2001-201900

CPU: 267-MHz Pentium (586-class CPU)

real memory = 67108864 (64M bytes)

avail memory = 56934400 (54M bytes)

...

If the unit is booted you can see the previous boot sequence by looking at the dmesg.

Alternatively you can go into Voyager and look at the first screen

Or from command line use iclid:

Asbestos[admin]# ipsctl kern:maxmem

kern:maxmem = 67108864

If you can't boot the box, then working out what it can support is much more complicated. Easiest way if you have a friend in Nokia Support is get the serial number and ask them what it was shipped with. Otherwise your down to opening the box!

IP110 are fixed at 64M

Older IP330 were fixed at 64M, newer one can support 128M and newest 256M.

IP400/IP410 are so old I wouldn't touch them.

IP440 older ones were restricted to 128M. Newer ones could support upto 384M, officially only supported 256M... same issue with IP330.

IP650 older ones only support 256M

I hope this is of use.

The older nokia's are going to support 4.1 only not NG. If it were me making a test lab I would use some older PIIs or PIIIs and use the Secure Platform install. Just so long as you are using an Intel chipset and a fairly standard NIC you will have a VERY easy install. Thats just my 2 bits. If you don't mind using 4.1 then good luck with the nokias....
