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

also make sure you sue broadcom or intel interfaces..nothing else...most other interfaces are actually software or "win" nics...if you want to serve up nearly 1 gigabit use the good interfaces.
