      Go with a Supermicro A1SRi-2558 instead of the C2358 variant and all would be fine for you.

        So I decided to take your advice and go with the A1SRi-2558F.  Thank you.

          It might be strong as the SG-2440, with more and faster RAM capabilities and 2 more CPU cores.
          You can´t do anything wrong with this board in my eyes according to pfSense.

            I received the A1SRi-2558F this week and setup pfSense on it.  Everything is working great. Thanks again.

              Where did you find it? My old rig died so I'm in the market to get something soon and I'd really like to get this board.

                I have about 9 A1SRi-2558F in use. Stable, low power and quite fast.

                Can't understand the market for a A1SRi-2358F.

                Con:

                • Single Channel
                • Only 2 Cores

                Pro:

                • Low power
                • MAYBE Cheap

                After many A1SRi-2558F and A1SRi-2758F i can't see why i should take the A1SRi-2358F in consideration ;)

                And with the 8 and 16 core boards on the horizon 2 core is "sooo 90s" :D

                  afaik, the first (commercial) multi-core cpu's from intel/amd emerged only around a decade ago …. well into the nillies

                    $50 cheaper than the C2558, lower power consumption and slow internet access that will likely never exceed the capabilities of this board.

                      You mean C2358 suitable for slow internet access? Nope.
                      Considering the Pentium 1037U, also a dual core processor with similar clock speed, is already able to handle 1000Mbps WAN-LAN NAT with about 50% CPU usage only, I wouldn't see how slow this C2358 will be.

                      I would say if one is not going to add complicated functionality concerning CPU power to this setup (e.g. intercepting proxy like HAVP), I don't see why can't we just save the $50 for other purposes.

                        Sorry, I should have clarified that I was talking about my slow internet access. The C2558 is overkill for my needs due to my slow internet access.

                        The SuperMicro A1SRI-2358F fits my needs perfectly now and in the future. About the only thing I wish it had that it doesn't is a msata slot for an SSD but that's not a deal breaker for me either.
