        Actually, I think horsepower and ram is a definite potential cause of
        problems.  I would not run a print server on such a low configuration,
        let alone an IDS system.

        Depending on how many rules you have, and if you are using the
        processing modules or not, you may very well not have enough cycles
        left.

        I would consider bumping that horsepower of that box up some if you have
        the ability before considering running Snort on it.
