One thing about it, the speed is likely what its going to be. Whether |
| 15 |
it is the encryption or whatever, it is what it is. It did improve a |
| 16 |
little with the 1GB network card but not a whole lot. |

It took some digging around but I found out it is a AMD Phenom 9750 quad |
| 26 |
core. It lists some extensions but I don't see any that are related to |
| 27 |
encryption. No AES or whatever for sure. Unless I missed it. I used |
| 28 |
the command cpuid to get this info on BSD. |

My main rig has a AMD FX-8350 Eight-Core Processor and 32GBs of memory. |
| 31 |
I'm thinking about a new rig eventually. Rig is getting a little age on |
| 32 |
it. ;-) |
