RouterOS doesn't support SCSI yet, so find something with IDE or SATA disks

OK, Thanks for the info,
but will it work with multi-processor system?
Except SCSII the mentioned configuration will be OK?

OK, I'll verify ethernet hardware.

How would you compare (estimate) this h/w performance in comarison to RB1000 ?

I do not know about vs rb1000, but check which xeon you a getting, the performance can be a 2-4 x factor depending on which 3.4ghz xeon.
