Go with the Mac Pro! I have a Dual Processor Dual Core (Intel) and its
way more than enough! I could probably run 50+ routers and it wouldn't
bother it one bit! The CPU never goes above 2% with 10 routers running!

Would you guys mind telling me what brand and models of quad-NICs
you're using? I'm debating whether to buy a regular Linux server
with quad-core CPU's or possibly a used Mac Pro with an 8-core CPU,
but I don't have a lot of money to put above this level, so I have
to get the NIC purchase right the first time.
Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for all your input people!
