The Geode chip is an x86 compatible chip. AMD aquired the design from National Semiconductor. Check out the wiki on the history:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geode_(processor) It looks like this chip hasn't been updated since 2002 (according to the above wikipedia article). As for if it will be enough for you needs, it depends _on_ _your_ _needs_. If you believe the marketing speak on their webpage, this unit running pfSense can handle 85Mbps of traffic, unless you try to use pfSence's VPN Features (they list those speeds as well). Trying to make a firewall for a small building of people with a DSL or Cable internet connection? This thing will very likely handle your needs. Trying to make a firewall for thousands of users? You might want to look into something better suited for the task. More info would be required to further this discussion. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ----- Original Message ----- From: justino garcia [mailto:[email protected]] To: NT System Admin Issues [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thu, 03 May 2012 16:31:18 -0700 Subject: Re: Any experince with Netgate m1n1wall 2D3 / 2D13 Firewall > Is that specific CPU any good (is it outdated) and is 256 MB good enough > for system ram? > > thanks, > > Justin > > On Thu, May 3, 2012 at 4:45 PM, Matthew W.
