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 From owner-freebsd-atm Mon Mar 2 16:10:30 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id QAA25249 for freebsd-atm-outgoing; Mon, 2 Mar 1998 16:10:30 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-atm@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from shellz.Malicia.com (reddawg@shellz.malicia.com [209.54.66.70]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id QAA25241 for ; Mon, 2 Mar 1998 16:10:27 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from reddawg@shellz.Malicia.com) Received: from localhost (reddawg@localhost) by shellz.Malicia.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id TAA24234; Mon, 2 Mar 1998 19:24:34 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from reddawg@shellz.Malicia.com) Date: Mon, 2 Mar 1998 19:24:34 -0500 (EST) From: Christopher To: Kenjiro Cho cc: freebsd-atm@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: ATM In-Reply-To: <199803020500.NAA13598@hotaka.csl.sony.co.jp> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-atm@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org wich do you prefer a pentium pro or pentium two to do routing?

If you can afford PentiumPro/200, get Pentium-II/300 or 333. --kj To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-atm" in the body of the message
