Researching it looks like an Intel I350-T2V2 would be a good match as it support PCIe v2.1 and the Dell has two slots one PCI 2x16 and one PCI 2x1 slots. I assume from the research I should need to get a Intel 1Gb Ethernet adapter since I only have one 1Gb port on the Dell, and assume I should get two ports instead of one, just in case. The Dell has a Haswell 4th Gen Intel Core i5-4460S Processor with 8GB Dual Channel DDR3 1600MHz and was recently upgraded to a 90Gb OCZ Vertex 2 SATA II 3.5" SSD. (I am currently a professional programmer and have been for years, more recently a lot of DevOps, but now I am getting into system and networking admin too.)
My use-case is for a home router in a one-person home with only a moderate media habit but I plan to build out a nice home lab to learn networking and development software with. The DVD Image (ISO) Installer is used to create a DVD version used to install on virtual machines or systems with a DVD drive.I wanted to dive into setting up my own pfSense router to replace my current router appliance, and I am trying to decide if I should build a new box from scratch OR if I should reuse this old Dell Inspiron 3647 that I bought to have a Windows box (vs. The entire hard drive will be overwritten, dual booting with another OS is not supported. This is the preferred means of running pfSense software. The USB memstick image is meant to be written to a USB flash drive before use and includes an installer that installs pfSense software to the hard drive on your system. If you purchased a Netgate product, refer to the product manual for your appliance to see which reinstall image you need. The Netgate ADI image only supports a serial installation from memstick and does not come with VGA option. The amd64 architecture (which works even on Intel 64-bit CPUs) can address more memory and may have other performance advantages, but requires a compatible CPU. If you have a 64-bit capable CPU, use the amd64 version.
