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.
