Hi. In the process to build a new router and want to choose the best possible CPU for the job. Narrowed it down to the following: Intel Q9650 3,0Ghz Intel i7-965/975 3,2Ghz/3,33Ghz What would be the benefit from a Xeon? Motherboard: Supermicro X8SBI-4LN. RAM: 4GB The router will be running IPFW and Dummynet for traffic-shaping. Along with that, standard services like dhcpd. Any thoughts appreciated. BG //Jon
