      @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.

            Happy PfSense user :)

              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.

                  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
