I am considering upgrading a pair of PIX520's (redundant pair) to GIG fiber
cards and was wondering if this would be a worthwhile upgrade. My concern is
that these boxes are a bit underpowered to take advantage of these
interfaces, being that they are P2-350's with 128Megs.
Does anyone have any experience with this type of upgrade and have any idea
of the max speed the GIG interfaces will handle based on similar CPU/memory
combination.?
