The memory is probably overkill for RR in single-table setup, you'll fit in 4G with a large margin.

CPU is OK. With no or minimal filters, also the convergence time isn't going to be more than several minutes on this scale. 

With the multithreaded version (now 3.0-alpha0), you're gonna get convergence times in tens of seconds, probably.
