If it's just going to be a router, consider booting it from floppy or some other "spin while booting only" media. Even CD-ROM may be viable once it's developed. You could also use a flash RAM IDE drive. There's no need to rely on a device which spins constantly and is probably going to fail one day while your machine is happily doing its own thing... I'm working on a boot-from-floppy router at the moment. :) P166 (clocked down to 125MHz), 32Mb RAM. It's also running gated but it's not doing anywhere near a full global table (1,000 routes on a bad day).
