These are the best little X86 based boxes you can buy (for the money).
We have some we are pushing over 100Mbps and the CPU is less than 10%:

Hi guys,
I lost my "beloved" RB1000 the other day due to fan failure and it's
time to start considering what I should replace it with (and what to
stock a spare of).
This will be a router for my company (not a WISP). Our internet feed
is 50Mb and on average, I would say there is no more than 25-30Mbit
being pushed through the unit, however I did notice a huge performance
hit when I plopped in my temporary RB750 to get my internet connection
back up and running. I don't run much in the way of simple queues
other than Butch's QoS script. I have a handful of firewall rules
dictating which subnets can talk to who. The router also has an EoIP
tunnel to another router for failover and acts as a PPTP VPN server.
I'm looking for something that will offer similar performance to what
my RB1000 provided me. Port count isn't critical, but I'd like at
least 3 and they have to be gigabit. I'm not overly concerned about
rackmount or not as I have a shelf I could set the unit on. By far the
most critical piece though has to be stability - both in the platform
itself and ethernet performance.
So far, I've been looking at the RB450G, the RB1200 and the RB800.
I've looked at a few of the x86 boards, but I believe these might be
overkill for my particular application.
What do you guys think?
