Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Does anyone have any real world experience with the upper performance end of freebsd based routers? Specifically, I'm wondering if the Znyx ZX374 card with its 66MHz bus is really worth twice the money of the adaptec Quartet64 board with a 33 MHz 64 bit bus. The intended mobo for it would be a tyan thunder/tiger LE with the ServerSet chipset. This mobo has dual independent fast 64 PCI busses. Any other advice for putting 16 fast ethernet ports on a FreeBSD box? Thanks, --- David To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
