For ex., some Sempron 3000+ s754 with some Asus K8N4-series mobo. I recommend it because such hardware is enough cheap, works OK (if there is no problem with chipset cooling), and has enough low power consumption (Sempron 3000+ with enabled cool&quiet, with default box cooler, in idle with stopped fan was heated less than 40*C when temperature in room was more than 25*C).
I doubt that PPro/200MHz can do NAT+firewalling+forwarding of 100Mbps full-duplex. But if you want to try - look on some Marvell 88E8001-based NICs. P.S. Summary effective PCI bus throughput is approx 700 Mbit (I got 350Mbit full duplex on one Marvell 88E8001) - so you can expect max. 175Mbit full-duplex traffic on any system if you'll use 2 PCI NICs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Increase Visibility of Your 3D Game App & Earn a Chance To Win $500!
