RB44.
We've used combo of 3 RB44 (via-rhine) in RouterPC for years at many cell
sites, with great success. Never had habitual problem with Lockup. Never
tried more than 3 cards. We use Mandrake Linux though, not Mikrotik.
However, the problem we have with RB44 is they do not auto-detect correctly
after the cards are reset. (For example rebooting PC or doing a
Mii-tool -R).
We see it is not correct by seeing incomplete speed descriptions viewing w/
Mii-tool. To fix, do Mii-tool -r to force auto-renegotiate. This is a BIG
pain in the neck to remember to watch for, as otherwise cards are left with
a Duplex Mismatch to radio.
We are investigating whether this is possibly a driver problem, or config
file misconfig, apposed to the card itself. Not sure.
For that reason we prefer the MT RB24 card w/natsemi.
We are planning on testing possibly using the new RB44G, since it uses a
different driver (Realtek)..

Here

I need more horsepower at one router site.
It's got a MT RB532 (233MHz/32MB) and it is pegging at 100% at times,
mostly
in the 85% range, though. The location has a 19" rack (only about 18"
deep,
though). Need 8 FastEthernet ports. No wireless. Want to user Mikrotik
RouterOS.
Can anyone recommend a box for this?
Thanks.
