As someone pointed out, you need something a little more recent to correct
the 16bit reference count limit. But beyond that, the two boxes for us
perform like a champs regularly pushing out peaks of 18Mb/s with two views
and gated.

As the other poster pointed out as well, watch your memory. You can tweak
your KVM space, but I like to add at least 192MB of RAM to give some
room. My upstreams have been pretty good about not having their routers
blast crap at me, but I have seen situations where they sent me 90K+ worth
of routes that blew my old router away.
