With the actual price of RAM you could add some more RAM. The processor can be OK, but I'd do some tests to see how it works. I'm running a similar firewall in a Celeron 800Mhz and it works well, but it's only used as a firewall and the rules are optimized. I advice you to optimize the traversing of the rules you have as much as you can. That can give you a performance boost. -- Jose Maria Lopez Hernandez Director Tecnico de bgSEC jkerouac@xxxxxxxxx bgSEC Seguridad y Consultoria de Sistemas Informaticos http://www.bgsec.com ESPAÃA The only people for me are the mad ones -- the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow Roman candles. -- Jack Kerouac, "On the Road"
