Hey guys, I am planning to buy some components for a Linux router that will handle the Internet access of 200 computers (includes tc shaping) and some inter sub-network routing (at least 100MBps per eth - and there are 3 eth cards).
I was thinking of a: Pentium 4 - 3GHz 256 or 512MB RAM Network Cards. Now - I wonder what is more important: the processor speed or the amount of RAM. And can you point me to some good Network Cards that you have used and are not so expensive. Some Intel, etc. I have no clue about this subject... Maybe this discussion can be extended to a list of best practices to set up a performant Linux Router from the hardware point of view. Thanks in advance, Mihai _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
