i know that this is probably a dumb question, but:

what sort of pentium III based-system would allow one to run IPFW and NATD
to firewall a 500MHz internet connection?  is there a prefered gigabit
ethernet card for this?  would a 32-bit/33MHz PCI bus do or would i need to
go to a higher speed and or width.  i am thinking of using an ASUS CUR-DLS,
but would a ABIT BX133 do just as well for less money?

i only have experience with pentium and 486 based freeebsd systems running
10baseT.  this is my first commercial use.

thank you.
