I've never tested the top end out as packets per second were always more important (and I only ever needed to support 1gig anyway). But my aging 2.8ghz xeons that I bought 4 years ago could handle that speed, the new dual dual core opterons I just put in just yawn at the same traffic. --Bill --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
