Has anyone tried Mikrotik on a atom board? I noticed this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816101262 I think this would make a decent router for the price. Your thoughts? Nick Olsen Brevard Wireless (321) 205-1100 x106

It's x86 so it should work. Doesn't have RAM, you'll need to buy that. It has Realtek NICs. Worst things in the world. Linux hates them especially. However much faith you want to put in SuperMicro is up to you - I have no experience. Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343

Yes, that unit would work well for a small MT router. Probably about the equivalent of the RB1000 (but only with 2 FE ports). Travis Microserv Nick Olsen wrote: Has anyone tried Mikrotik on a atom board? I noticed this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816101262 I

In our bench testing, the RB1000 actually performs very well. You can't just compare CPU's (as I'm sure you know). The RB1000 was designed from the ground up to move packets. The Atom CPU was designed as an inexpensive computer system. I think I have a dual-core 1.6ghz Atom board and CPU
