no problem then, my internet connection and ammount of clients are far too slow/few that the bottleneck will be there not on the UTM (and i'm only using content filter for a small lab subset)
I've currently got it running on an old dell precision 2400 with 2GB of ram and it runs a lot better that I originally thought it would. Keeps up fine with the 30MB broadband, but I don't run IPS as I suspect this would kill it. AV, web and app filtering are all turned on though and Web Admin is still fairly snappy.
It's an age-old Athlon XP with 1.5GB of RAM heh 40mbps is an order of magnitude more than the BW we have over here, and with 8.3 i never see more than 10% CPU use
Excellent, i need to upgrade to 9.0 simply because of the DHCP options, as right now i can't pixie boot an antire lan segment because the dhcp server is in the Astaro box
