Hi, both of those Atoms you list are very old and slow; I wouldn't use them for anything over 25mbps.
The Celeron 1037U is using the Ivy Bridge architecture, which is substantially faster than old Atoms, but this CPU is still 2 years old.
More recent Intel CPUs are Haswell or Broadwell (Pentium/i3/i5/i7; socket 1150), or Silvermont/Avoton/Rangely (Atom/Celeron).
How fast is your Internet connection?
FYI, it's often cheaper to use VLANs then to put lots of NICs in the UTM.
An 8-port Netgear 'smart' switch is under $100USD, and you can then get by with only 2 (good) NICs in the UTM.
Or, you could get a motherboard with 2 Intel NICs and add a Quad-port Intel or HP NIC.
