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.

    So, playing with ESXi a little bit, the only thing that seems to be able to accomplish this would be creating a resource pool with all available processing power and 16GB+ of RAM assigned to it. Next, creating a single virtual machine under this resource pool with 2 vCPUs and 16GB of RAM. I'm curious if the hypervisor will provide the processing for the guest or, if the guest will only see the procesing power available to the CPU in use (i.e. a Quad Core 2.75GHz processor on the host shows as a 2.75GHz processor on the guest, not, say, a 2x 4.5GHz processors, depending on how the resource pool has been provisioned).

    ESX doesn't work that way. It doesn't spread a vCPU (single thread) over multiple physical CPUs/cores. Resource Pools are only for dividing up and assigning/reserving resources for specific VMs.

    I don't know that any hypervisor will actually do that.
