I was able to match up a similar processor to mine and find it's 98 MB/s. It gives me a good idea of what to expect. I'm not sure of any addon cards, but it would be great if it was supported. I know IPSec can utilize the Hifn addon card for encryption and takes a lot of the load off the processor. I'd hate to blow a couple of hundred on a new motherboard, processor, and memory if I can spent 50 bucks on an add-in card.
