You'd be surprised - a dual core Atom is considerably faster than a P3 at pushing packets, depending on NICs and the specific board. The better embedded firewall boards with Atoms can push around 500 Mbps. A PE750 would be faster, though takes ~8-9 times as much power. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
