The 525 is: 1RU higher Draws about three times as much power (5-2.5A instead of 1.5-0.75A, depending on voltage) 21 pounds heavier (Twenty one pounds! That's _three_times_ as heavy!) Luckily it has better operational temperatures and heat dissipation.
In short, the 525 is a much better choice for either operating on top of a 9343ft peak at 77 degrees F, or use as a blunt weapon, but the 515 would be better as a makeshift waffle warmer for the computer room because of the lower heat dissipation. In addition, the smaller form factor of the 515 means that you could get about twenty plates of waffles into a standard rack, have them stay warmer and still save power compared to a rack of 525s. Other, more boring, specs, like RAM, processor speeds, maximum interfaces and speeds etc are available here: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/pcat/fw.htm Cheers, -- Ben Nagy Network Security Specialist Mb: TBA PGP Key ID: 0x1A86E304 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Fast Developers Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2002 5:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: PIX 515 & PIX 525 Dear all Please define whats the main diffrence between PIX 515 and PIX 525. we are using PIX 515 and want to upgrade this with PIX 525 .
