[LARTC] 300mhz fast enough for a 100mbit bridge with filtering

Hi!

I'm looking for a small pc without fan, and I found one 
(http://www.visionsystems.de/produkte/276.html). It's a Geode 300MHz cpu, and 
I want to use it as bridge for my pc's which are currently connected direct 
to a 100Mbit lan. It should work as firewall (state full for ftp to work), 
dhcp for my notebook (and friends) and it should decide to which gateway a 
paket should go, so I don't need to set anything up on the clients. And it 
should be a bridge so I can be still a full part in the lan.

My questions is now, can this cpu handle that? May some of you have a that 
slow cpu runing. or we're can I find benchmarks?

Do you know any other fanless pc? I only found this one.

I don't know if it can, but remember that there are server machines 
available with Crusoe chips in them that have no fans too.

This isn't a url to a complete Crusoe pc, but a link describing how to build 
a fanless pc with an Intel 2.8 Ghz chip.

Yes; transmetazone.com (great name) has the FiberCycles WebBunker ... 
http://www.transmetazone.com/articleview.cfm?articleIDX5

Its a bit high-end, but you should be able to find others (the netwinder 
for example is two servers in a 1U rack case for $2500);

The WebBunker Model FC206i - the first of FiberCycle's WebBunker line of 
servers - will hit the market mid-second quarter this year for around 
$9,300 USD or about $1500 per CPU blade . The 2U rack-mounting unit has 
six independent single-cpu servers (it will be able to scale dual Crusoe 
processors shortly), dual redundant power supplies and IO blades all in 
one package. The FC206i will rely upon a 20Gb EIDE ATA-100 hard drive 
for permanent storage, and come equipped with 256Mb of onboard DDR 
SDRAM. One expansion DIMM slot will enable a maximum up 756Mb memory per 
CPU. Each of the six CPU bays contains a completely independent TM5600 
Crusoe based server, with the CPU and system board up front, and the 
hard drive in rear.
