You might want to take a look at the NIC as well. X520 or X710 might be<br>
a good choice for the 10GE setup.<br>
<br>
CPU should be a good mix between singlecore performance and amount of<br>
cores. Dual Socket setups are recommended and try to go for a Xeon with<br>
8-10 cores each.<br>
<br>
RAM, as much as you can get, depending on the ruleset 128GB might be a<br>
good choice.<br>
