Suggested Hardware for ASL 5.010 for 100 users

dayne1432
I would like a suggestion on what you think of the system for a 100 users:

AMD Athlon XP 2400+
768MB DDR Memory
40GB 7200RPM 
2X Dlink 530TX Nics

The ASL box is going to run Http proxy with content filtering and virus protection
Pop 3 proxy with virus scanning and spam protection.
Intrusion protection w/ portscan detection.

It wont run VPN or remote access. No internal servers. Just basic firewall with virus scanning and spam filtering.

Thanks

    I am going to upgrade the internet connection to cable internet. 3Mbps down and 384k up.

    The only reason for not a dedicated connection like T1 is first cost and second we don't host any services and the only traffic is web and email based. 

    Will this suffice and not cause such a bottelneck?

    That sounds like it will work for you.  The only thing to be cautious of, and this varies from location to location anyway, is that cable Internet is a shared service without any guarantees of bandwidth or uptime.  Will your cable connection work for your 100 users?  The answer is "probably".  Unlike a T-1, the cable company doesn't have to give you any guarantee.  You'll have to feel this one out.
