Choosing hardware based on throughput performance

@BlueKobold:
The i210-T1 is a Server grade NIC and could be a really cool LAN Port to speed up things there. ~45 € here
And the Intel Gigabit CT adapter will be a really cool WAN port as I see it right. ~25 € hereThe i210-T1 also makes for a nice desktop NIC 8) Integrated Realtek… Not in my home. Disabled in bios, discrete NIC.

i210-T1 ordered :)

Hi guys,
Would this server:

Be powerful enough to do 1gigabit WAN reliably with a few VPNs, etc?
Please let me know, it's really not expensive.
Thanks!

Actually, this looks like a good deal, especially with 10% off first order:

Should I go for it?

Both will do what you want and need, for ~$299 or ~$310 it will be perhaps in the same price range
as you search but much better then the bigger once compared to the power consumption!- 8 GB RAM
- mSATA
Will be rocking for a long time together with pfSense for sure.
- Snort
- SARG
- ClamAV
- pfBlocker-ng
- Squid & SquidGuard
You will be able to built a real UTM device with this.

@BlueKobold,
Thank you for this recommendation. You mention + 8GB of memory, so pfSense would need 8GB of memory on these Celeron boxes, and I will get an mSATA or SATA SSD. I assume 128GB is big enough.
I am going to wait till Black Friday to see if either of these go on special and grab one the cheapest possible.
Thanks again for the info!

Oh by the way, my 1gigabit WAN comes in via PPPoE. Are both of these Jetway boxes capable of handling that along with everything else?
Thanks!

You might be also lucky with 2 GB or 4 GB of RAM, pending on the installed packets and running services.
and I will get an mSATA or SATA SSD. I assume 128GB is big enough.
For sure it will be really a big one for that.

Not sure you can process 1gb via PPPoE because issue #4821 is still not solved.

This is quite right, but on the other side you don´t be able to compare each CPU against another
CPU core because this CPUs are not identically for sure. -
True!

Hi all,
Mobo in the house!!! finally.
Still need to wait for the ECC ram (just seen that non-ecc is no longer supported on C2758)
will be back with performance review and maybe new unexpected issues :P

@nikkon
What is the vendor and name of the mini ITX-case? -
supermicro

the board is superb…works and feels damn powerful :)
Tons of CPU settings that i never thought they exist :P
