Hi, I have two fw platforms, mono 1.21 running on a Nokia120 and pfsense1.0beta2 running on an AMD athlon 900.
I can get 2.2MBs on the 120 platform, at >96% cpu usage. On the athlon, 32bit, 33Mhz pci, I can get 7MBs using Intel PRO 1000MT 64 bit PCI cards. My question is what speed/type cpu do I need to use to improve on this with a PCI-X bus? (64bit, 33Mhz or maybe 66Mhz) I would like to get 15-20MBs, but without spending too much. I am looking at a 2nd hand Supermicro FPGA370 dual Pentium mb, with PCI-X bus. All my NICs are Intelpro MT1000, 64bit. Thanks
