hardware requirements for snort sensors

Hi, I've been charged with setting up an IDS environment and was wondering what recommendations people have for the "ideal" setup. Sensors reporting back to a single host or autonomous sensors that detect and collect data on their own? What level of hardware for each part do you all think is needed to monitor a 100mbit LAN? Do I need much processing power? Memory, 512MB enough, or is a gig needed? What about hard drive, IDE or SCSI? Does each sensor being autonomous make more sense, instead of having to worry about the "back-end" link to the server? I'm looking at deploying on maybe three or four segments via port mirroring on 10/100 ethernet switches. Any advice would be appreciated, Thanks!
