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).

    go for something haswell based to save quite a bit on power.  Unless you ahve a wickedly busy webserver or mail serv3er or network in general you won't see i gbps with ips on any cpu.

    however found this at the outlet:
    Processor: Intel Xeon E3-1220 v3 Processor (3.1GHz, 8M Cache, Turbo, 4C/4T, 80W)
    No Operating System
    1 TB 7.2K RPM SATA 3.5 inch Hard drive
    8GB RDIMM, 1600 MHz Dual Rank
    8X DVD+/-RW Drive
    Dell Outlet PowerEdge R220

    it's good for 15 minutes at Dell Factory Outlet: Error
