If you had.....

An amd phenom 9650 quad, 4gb ram, 160gb sata
and a quad cpu 3.2ghz xeon, 8gb ddr1, 3x 36gb scsi300 HP machine

think its worth putting the HP as my router? (only recently put the amd as this but just acquired the xeon machine for the princely sum of £13.85 on a well known auction site)


**edit its in one of the spare rooms so noise doesnt matter

no reason at all just i got it cheap

also i currently have my Q9650 @ 4.6ghz
then an Q6600 @ 3.8ghz, another Q6600 @ 3.6ghz, an E6400 and an E5200 running 24/7

electricity isnt a prob

Im using the phenom as a router now and its LOTS faster than the old hardware routers i've had plus i can leave torrents on overnight on it

I was wondering whether the quad xeon would be any good being older, then i could shift the amd to doign qwhat the others do, EVE online

i had to pay £50 for the virgin 200mbit router, and that was sucky
