I don't know the specs on an IP440, but the IP530 is a 733 MHz box and I stuck 1 GB of RAM in it. It's running NG AI as well as remote access on pair of T-1's and it rarely goes over 10% CPU. What kind of lines is your box handling?

I'm in the process of upgrading our IP440 from IPSO 3.5FCS10 and checkpoint FW-1 4.1 SP6 to IPSO 3.7 and NG FP3 with AI, and have heard from a colleague that some vendors (Netscreen) have said that an IP440 cannot run NG with AI because the extra overhead would kill FW throughput performance.
Has anyone got any info on this? Can an IP440 handle NG with AI fine? If there is extra overhead, how much performance degradation could we expect?
Our IP440 currently seems to handle our traffic without issue, and l'm hoping that he was just fed BS in order to get a sale.
Thanks in advance.
Alan.
