The issue you are seeing with minor packet loss may be due to the RB44G cards. I know they initially had issues, but I haven't personally had the time to test the RB44G again since my post on the MT forum back in March.
http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=14316&hilit= If you need GigE Interfaces for your Intel based MT router I would suggest sticking with Intel NICs. We have many, many Intel MF and Intel MT NICs in production with great success. Sure beats the Hell out of paying $1000 - $1500+ per GigE fiber NIC from Imagestream! We use an Evercase 4U chassis and for the past several months are including redundant hot-swap power supplies for an additional $200-$300. BTW, what Intel motherboard are you using? Unfortunately not all motherboards are created equal when it comes to building a MT router!

I need the device to be able to handle around 200 MB of actual throughput. We use quite a few of the RB532s today and seem to cap out around 40MB or so. We have tried a few of the PC based platforms using Intel 915 boards and the gig RB PCI cards. When testing with these, we do get minor packet loss that we do not get on the 532s or our Cisco routers. Any suggestions?
