Thank you for the replies. I figured the hardware was overkill, but the current Linux platform runs in about 1gb of ram and I am currently not doing any ip traffic collection. I was considering using pmacct or ntop for that which I have been told ntop takes some resources. I have been using ClearOS, but I like the commercial support structure better for Pfsense.
Any thoughts on whether IDS is appropriate at the perimeter or not?
