      I just bought a Checkpoint P-20 (Power-1 9070) and plan on jumping it to dual E5450's, 16GB of RAM, and dual 600GB 10000RPM drives. It will be running pfSense.

      It has 4x10GigE ports and 8x1GigE ports. I am curious if I can even push 10Gbps though this unit.

        Ok. Word of advice. It does NOT like it when you swap out the processors. It will go into a constant p-on, p-off looping phase.

        ..and it will only take 4x2R and 4x1R memory. I will not take 8x2R sticks.
