I want to run 6.1_RELEASE with Packet Filter(PF) configured as a gateway using 2 identical 10/100 nics, on an old 450mhz pentium with 256 meg ram and an 8 gig HD. In general, should I expect any speed performance issues with internet access base on the processor, ram and bus speeds of the MB? Would the PF config cause any speed performance deficiencies? I had same setup as above but with IPF firewall and received complaints about surfing speed so I put them back on a Linksys router firewall. bc
