      Just to follow up, NIC arrived and installed…had only two problems which had been resolved that was posted here: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=140315.0

      So now, I am waiting for the processor (AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 3.1GHz Dual-Core Processor 89W) to arrive. However, here's an insight of the performance after running Snort, Suricata, pfBlockerNG, and Squid. After the processor is installed, I'll continue with further fine tuning. I am extremely happy with results so far despite the machine will last just a year (AES-NI issue).
