Firewall with smallest footprint?

As above, what do you reccomend as the most functional, comprehensive Firewall around with the smallest footprint on memory?

Free or to purchase doesnt matter

The new NOD32 has a firewall as well as an antivirus then? Might be interested in that.

If the Firewall is half as good as their AV then its gonna be a good seller.

The reason I asked is I have a hardware firewall on the router and just want something that will see ALL outgoing connections to the net.

I have Mcafee's 2007 Firewall but its quite a memory hog as it needs the security centre also. I know I shouldnt really complain having 2GB Memory but 'every little helps'

Its a vicious circle

Well not so much use less and less memory. More that so they are not so bloated with so much rubbish that the end user really doesnt need.

Symantec for example
