new pc for home edition

Hi,

In general, wireless chips are not supported.

The Celeron n3150 is a Braswell Silvermont chip, which is the new 'Atom' architecture... generally it is designed for very low power rather than performance.
I don't know if it'll run well at 100mbps. Maybe. (I do know that a fast i3 will work great.)

Note the IPS is typically the bottleneck for the CPU. Tuning the rulesets and using the ruleset aging can help a bit.

I mostly concur...:)  fast I-3 and at least 8 gigs of ram.  I have seen growing memory usage on UTM so I am looking at going to 12 or even 16 gigs of ram depending on usage.  a good i-3 will draw not much more power on average than the atom and will hit 100 megabits easily without having to worry about tuning snort.  The aging works ok I personally do not use it based on my philosophy of having enough hardware and ram means you do not need to remove(or age out rules) if you have enough cpu and ram.  There's plenty of "old threats" out there that are still highly active.  I would highly suggest fully utilizing the tools UTM gives you..this means network visibility, application controls,. web proxy with dual a/v scanning and content filtering along with IPS.  Properly configured nothing is going to get by the edge that you do not allow.  You do to monitor the system for changes and also maintain it for the ever changing threat landscape but a good initial configuration will go a long way towards adding a very large amount of peace of mind to your network.
