It will be fine indeed as I have it too here. Allthough 2 mbit is rather the max for a 060/50 cpu. I have a choice here for 2 or 8 mbit, but i notice that when using full bw and having a 1 mbit upload there's not really a lot more to do with the cpu (when for instance dl a torrent, streaming, browsing a bit, etc.). And that is via ethernet on the mediator, I'm told the pcmcia is even more cpu hungry.

And only the process of copying data I presume ;-)

I understand completely what you are saying, but I was refering to also actually *use* the data that comes in.

Cool testing figures though, but those figures only resemble one process and that is: "shoving data".

In my case, the data that comes in with 2mbit download also gets used by for instance torrent, streaming, browsing etc. and that's where the cpu limit comes in.

So when I stated that 2mbit is rather the max, I was refering to actually using that data too ;-)

You're right.

Where do you think the bottlenecks are? Would SCSI for instance bring up the numbers even more? Or are your testresults from RAM:?
