can someone tell me what the max performance will be with an linux router?
i will be using two gigabit adapters and i think it's best if i use a dual
pci bus mainbord.

does is matter what kind of cpu / memory i use ?
so will p3-933 be faster than a p3xeon-500 with 2mb cache or (does cache
matter?) (and what about a dual or quad cpu system?)
and sdram vs rimm ?

i will use the router mainly for firewall and accounting rules
1 gigabit link will be connected to a switch
the other will be the internet link (colocated)

or what are my options with dedicated routers?
i don't need many options which i think all gigabit routers of cisco
have...
