the GTS512 is actually faster than the GTS640 (it's a 128 shader part with higher clockspeeds, compared to the 96 shader... 500Mhz? of the GTS320/640) ATI's 5870's should be dropping in two or three weeks, so I'd recommend waiting to see what that can do before spending any money. On 26

I've been using pfSense for 6 months or so, and absolutely love it. The rules engine reminds me of more enterprise-class offerings, which coming from a Cisco/CheckPoint world, I find very appealing. It even supports stateful failover using CARP. I can't speak to application-level filtering

Thanks for the input Greg. Since I grabbed 2 of those 4 port embedded systems, I may do 1 smoothwall and 1 pfsense and see which one handles the load with less problems. I've never used anything other than hacked DD-WRT/tomato routers, so I'm hoping to have more options available to use without
