serve 100 meg internet connection with UTM features

I would like to discuss Astaro system requirements I have a 100 meg down 5 meg up connection. I have two systems at my disposal that I can run the first is a hyper threaded P4 3.2 with 3 gigs of ram the second is a cor2duo 2.1 with 4 gigs of ram, and I will be using Intel Pro 1000 PT nics. I need to be able to push 100 megs my current Pfsense box has no problem doing this but than again it does not have UTM features installed. The main features I need are web and virus filtering and maybe vpn.

Hi,

I just upgrade my internet connection.
I also looking for a new hardware for my new astaro/sophos, can you advise for the best
performance hardware. and this is my config.

3. my internet connection is 500mbs/500mbs
6. planning to use most /all of the astaro features include dual scanning in all scanning features with 50 or 100 mb limit.

for between 15 a 20 users.

so i really wants a great/best throughput for the 500 mbs connection.

do i need a icore-5 / icore-7 or amd fx-8350 ?
and how many ram, 6gb or 8gb ?
ssd or 7200 rpm

thnx in adv

Frankly get a real server using a 3.0 GHz Xeon. 4 gigs is the minimum if you can afford it do 8. Stick with HDD you aren't going to need ssd.
