When running a transparent web proxy on Mikrotik 3.13 the CPU load is quite high. Would switching to a dual core CPU help much? Is dual CPU support stable on Mikrotik?

YOu can use a 433AH, or a 1000 board if you need more CPU power. Else there are other systems, such as the PowerRouter 732 that this will work really great on. The PowerRouter does run a Dual-Core Processor just fine, but make sure that you get a tested and supported system!

Using the Supermicro server board

With 1u Supermicro case and 1.8ghz Pentium D. Have always had good luck with Supermicro though its pricey stuff. Was mainly wandering if anyone saw any performance boosts enabling dual cpu support on Mikrotik with web proxy? Any stabillity issues? This router is hitting about 90+ percent CPU load peak.

Added dual core CPU. 2Ghz Dual Core LGA775. Turned on dual CPU support in Mikrotik and rebooted. At first CPU load was really high as it was rebuilding cache for few minutes. After that CPU load dropped too zero. Previouslly with 1.8ghz single core CPU load averaged 50 percent and peaked at 100 percent. I am guessing this is a bug in the CPU load graphing on 3.14 or something?
