Eugeniu,

I have been on Check Point Experience Las Vegas 2009. I saw all the things
I'm talking about. I knew the developers and know exactly what I'm talking
about. I know that the datasheet has almost all the things but it is real,
it has been demostrated live there in CPX and I have installed on lab and
tested by myself.

About the throughput it was unnecessary to judge of what I told, OF COURSE
the smaller box does not support the same, everyone knows that. It is UP TO
3.3Gbps!

And...at the end of the post I told a lot things that are not on any
datasheet :)
