What is "Very Fast" memory? ;)
for example, between DDR533 and DDR800 RAM modules, get a DDR800 (or faster, if they are out there)

system, but ethernet cards be sufficient? In theory 66MHz/64-bit PCI bus should be well enough even for wirespeed GigE
it really depends on the amount of rules and amount of packets per second, but having one dedicated PCI controller per NIC is gonna be better than sharing one controller between 2 NICs.
What about Intel Pro/100 S Server Dual Port 64bit/66Mhz adapters (fxp)?
Like Henning said earlier in this thread: "there is really no reason to buy 100MBit/s cards at all any more". Go for gigabit. Definetely.
