Hardware requirements for Home Users?

RainbowTrail
Hi, I was previously on 100Mbps DL, 50Mbps UL for my UTM home license.
Recently, I've upgraded to 1Gbps DL, 500Mbps UL for my home and apparently the speed was down to 150Mbps+ DL, 150Mbps+ UL.

I've realized the IPS is limiting the speed and if I were to turn off IPS, the speed increases to 350Mbps+ DL, 200Mbps+ UL.

Is there any guidelines or whatsoever to follow to fully utilize my bandwidth or 1Gbps down, 500Mbps up?

Currently using Dell Optiplex 780 Desktop (C2D with 6GB DDR2 RAM and 7.2K RPM standard HDD).

    Hi, 

    If the IPS, Web Protection, and possibly Application Control are all off, then the NICs are the most likely culprit.

    The IPS needs a lot of CPU power and even then it's going to be hard to get over 300mbps for a single user.
