It's biggest problem may be that it won't support fast ethernet or
Gig-e
network traffic between subnets at speed. How big of a CPU do I
need for
100MB or 1GB network traffic?
The question isn't, not directly, CPU speed... It's bus speed... Your
question would be how fast my bus must be to exchange data from the
Ethernet interface to the memory and/or processor.
Take a look at: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO-7.html
You will find your answer ;)
