I will like to build a Pfsense bos which will enable me to tune and run better instead of getting a out-of-box which i dont know what is the limitation.
feature such as 2- VLAN , 2 GLAN , 2 NIC port at least ?

It's difficult to make out, but I think he wants a recommendation for a system with 2x Ethernet ports for use in a home-built router, running the pfSense distribution.

I've had a couple people at work looking for the newer T/S model Sandy Bridge CPUs ... plus some cheap ram & Intel NICs ... you can get a reasonable Linux host to run and then run some virtualization on top.
depending on the hardware, you could also get ESXi going (free OS) and it's a powerhouse for running many OS'.
