Okay, what would someone who is knowledgable (Dennis?) say about this...

FreeBSD 2.2-RELENG-970713
486DX4/120 Mhz
64 Megabytes RAM
2 Intel Pro 100B Ethernet Cards (1-Loaded, 1-Not)
2 Western Digital Elite Ultra 16 Ethernet Cards (1-Loaded, 1-Not)
2 SDL V.35 Ports (1-Loaded, 1-Not)

Running Gated and some misc. other "small servers".
No web, ftp, nameservers, etc.. Just the basics.

How feasible is this?  What are the chances that I'm already
pushing the max this machine can handle, let alone if I start
using the other interfaces more... 

Here is the BIG question...
Assuming the above configuration, what is the minimum
(read: acceptable->good performance) machine that would
be capable of handling this?  Oh yeah, it's also supporting
a FULL BGP routing table from two peers (Mae-East & Chicago NAP).
