I've made load balancing, 5 zone, gigabit firewalls on 300mhz geode chips, you dont need anything as high end as what you described.... Save it for a server... take an old pentium2 pc, build it outa that, and then get an old pentium 3 box and make a reverse squid proxy to make things really safe...

I agree, we have one of our checkpoint firewalls runs on a dual 2.4ghz xeon ibm server and there is never any load on that box even though we push alot of traffic through it. A system like you described is a bit overkill
