Take a look at the discussion we have going on Dual cpu... You'll see
much info on that topic. A 450 has many advantages over smaller boxes
due to multiple busses and other such goodies. The multi-processor
aspect is only a part of the equation. I don't know of any good specing
docs. You should see the advanced performance tuning doc on the
checkpoint site to figure out memory requirments. Basically, translated
connections require 3Mb of memory, static connections about 70K.
Multiply these figures by the maximums you want to run, and bingo..
memory requirments. (Plus add a buffer of at least 32Mb.)

See the http://www.phoneboy.com/fw1   faq's as well.

Cheers,
Craig
