Another Hardware Question - Dont Shoot

BobbyDigital

All,

I've been reading some older post and it's really hard to determine what is the best build for testing and maximizing throughput with a home build.

Does anyone have a recommended best build to achieve maximum throughput? I have a true fiber connection and when connecting through the sophos appliance i'm barely getting 300mb down and 400mb up. When I swap devices I am able to achieve 900 and up throughput both inbound and outbound. 

I've tried several recommended tweaks to improve speed and they help a little but nothing major.

I'm running an AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 620 Processor with 6 gigs of DDR3 clocked at 1333.

Again, not really looking to troubleshoot as I've done alot of that prior to this post. Just curious if anyone has a recommended home build that is performing rather great for them.

THANKS FOR ALL RESPONSES

    Hi,

    that will work quite well. but the GUI will be extremely slow in updating. If you want to configure and forget that is similar to some of the low-end Sophos boxes, but if you want to experiment and have a very fast internet connection then the much faster CPU is needed.

    I found the supermicro MBs the most difficult to install the XG on. My choice is an Asus or intel server MBs because they also come in small footprint boards. Becareful if choosing an Asus to make sure it does not have an i219 NIC.
