It claims to run under linux, how ever after linux loads its module. I wonder to know if openssl will take advantege of it?

thats a 6 year old product, hung on the old/slow PCI parallel bus.. I'd think 1 extra core on a modern CPU would be more than sufficient to outperform it


it claims 400% faster than a Pentium-III, whoa. but, um.... we have Nehalem based quad core Xeon server processors now that are 16 times or more faster than a Pentium-III per core.



color me skeptical. also, having seen Broadcom software before, run, run away now.
