When using the supported ATM cards (ENI or Adaptec), the bottleneck is not processor power but memory access speed. So, faster CPU or SMP won't help much. If your machine will be used as a router, Pentium-II/200 with 440LX or PPro/200/256K with 440FX will be enough to handle dual 155M ATM. If you run applications on the machine, get faster CPU. Regarding ATM cards, Adaptec card is much simpler from the driver's point of view, but I don't see much difference in performance. --kj To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-atm" in the body of the message
