>From our experience, we believe it is not possible.

However, had a related question...

We have found processing power to be a big issue to enable full throughput 
of APs
My understanding is that the 532 is being replaced with the 600 series, that 
also supports the daughterboard..

(Disclaimer: rough estimates below, without specifying configurations, exact 
results on routerboard's website).

532a (266-400mhz MIPs)was quoted around 10-15,000 pps.
433AH (roughtly 700Mhz Atheros) around 30-40,000 pps.
600 series (200-400mhz PowerPC NetProc) was quoted around 50-60,000 pps.

So its understandable the 433AH would outperform the 532.

Question is.... Why does teh 600 series outperform them all, when it has the 
slowest processor in MHZ?

Are Mikrotik's 532a speeds test at 266 or 400Mhz? And the 600 series at 200 
or 400? They did specify on their report.

Is the 600's Power PC's processor really that much better that it gets so 
much better speed at slower Mhz?
Or is it just the design of the board that accommodates GB NICs and DDR RAM?

I just wanted to get some feedback from people on whether the 600 series 
really are faster than the 433AH boards.
The 600s do have other advantages jsutifying their higher price, but thats 
not related to my question.
