Verizon will be activating their (FIOS) fiber service for home users next week. I currently have a pentium 75Mhz, 128MB ram machine setup as a firewall/router with DSL. My question is since my service is going to jump from a 3Mb downstream to 15Mb downstream, is my current router going to hinder my home network speeds?

My home network is all cat6 with gigabit switching.
 
As long as your NIC is capable then the computer you have is fine. 12 extra Mb is going to have zero effect on your *nix router performance.
