hi,
i want to setup a router-box with freebsd 8.0. with four Intel Pro/1000 NICs.
the network i'm using router for, is a large and complicated network with high
traffic almost all the time (up to 800Mbps for each of 4 NICs). and route
table
may get large. so these are my questions:
1- first, i wanted to know what hardware specifications do you recommend (RAM,
CPU, ...)?
2- about CPU, which feature is more important? Cache, Core-Speed, number of
Cores, FSB, ....?
3- as a followup to my second question, which of these CPUs do you think is
more
suitable for me? and why?
a) Intel Core2-Quad q8300 (2.50GHz)
b) Intel Xeon e5405 (2.00GHz)
c) Intel Xeon e5420 (2.50GHz)
d) Intel Core-i5 540M (2.53GHz)
thank you.
