You really don't need that much memory, you can of course configure the USB device as a swap partition, but I would suggest simply trying it out first and you will almost definitely find that you have enough memory (even with the 4801-50). If you actually find that you need more memory, use a 4801-60. If you need more than 256mb of memory, use a 5501-70. But, if all your doing is a simple firewall, your going to hit other limits long before you hit the limits of the RAM. -Adam _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
