You'll see much info on that topic. A 450 has many advantages over smaller boxes due to multiple busses and other such goodies. The multi-processor aspect is only a part of the equation. I don't know of any good specing docs. You should see the advanced performance tuning doc on the checkpoint site to figure out memory requirments. Basically, translated connections require 3Mb of memory, static connections about 70K. Multiply these figures by the maximums you want to run, and bingo.. memory requirments. (Plus add a buffer of at least 32Mb.) See the http://www.phoneboy.com/fw1 faq's as well. Cheers, Craig
