PIX515 unfortunately has been End Of Life since May 2007:

PIX515 only uses 200-MHz Intel Pentium MMX processor, and depending on what the 300 users are accessing through the PIX firewall, it would be pretty slow in today's world. PC nowadays is in the GHz processor.

thanks, can you please suggest what firewall cisco product that suitable for 300 users access?

ASA firewall is the latest Cisco firewall.

Here are the different models for your reference:
