Up at that level, you won't find many PC's used as routers. The PCI bus
is too much of a bottleneck for GigE routing. Expensive switches and
routers have bandwidth-rich backplanes not available in "beige box"
computers. You also aren't likely to find machines with "hundreds of
routes" without requiring the kind of bandwidth that PC's can't handle.
In general, I can't think of a real middle ground. In most cases, a PC
running Linux will either be more than sufficient or not even close.
