Specs needed for a build for a google fiber WAN using HOME use version"?

chriswise
I am going to be getting Google fiber at my house soon and would like to put together a server build to run the home version of Sophos that will be able to handle the full gigabit of up and down speed I will have while still using the antivirus and intrusion prevention features. I currently have a 100 Mb connection and am using an older sonic wall but even this goes down to 70 MB whenever I turn on the gateway antivirus and intrusion prevention so there is no way it will handle my new connection.

    @Chriswise:  Because those numbers are from marketing, created through benchmarking in a highly controlled, closed, test lab. The difference with real-world performance numbers and the marketing numbers can be significant.  The value is as a point of comparison between different appliance models, NOT as a direct reflection of the performance you'd see in the real-world.

    Interesting.
    I was also considering getting 2 of the commercial versions of these UTM for my medical practice (I have 2 offices now with a total of ~70 employees that each have older sonicwalls also) but if the specs are all hype maybe I will reconsider. What kind of hardware does the, since I already used that example, SG 310 have that it can, even in a test lab, get those spec'd numbers?
