I'm really curious to know what you are doing that can only just work on an AH type board?

nowhere did they state x86 was in danger, what brought that thought ?

I've read about RB-1000 and some slower RB, but nothing is wrong with your letter anyway. This is about supporting x86 platform. So, you are going to support it? If so, I am happy I've heard just rumours.

We began running MikroTik as a core router sometime back in 2004 when our Cisco VXR DS3 router started to struggle. We purchased a couple LMC DS3 NICs from Eje at Wisp-Router and haven't looked back since.

It was better than three years ago when we bench tested more than 800Mbps between MikroTik routers using older Intel Pro fiber NICs and standard 32bit PCI slots. Over the years we have deployed numerous MikroTik routers with 24 or more 10/100 Interfaces, and several MikroTik routers with multiple Intel GigE Copper and Fiber Interfaces.

Today our MikroTik routers have evolved to include motherboards with
multiple PCIe x8 & x16 lane expansion slots, Quad core CPUs, 2Gig RAM,
redundant hot-swap power supplies and multiple six port SFP NICs. This
latest generation of MikroTik router we are deploying are extremely fast, flexible, cost effective and most importantly reliable.

The SFP NICs allow us to easily swap Interfaces from Copper GigE to SX
fiber, LX fiber, ZX Fiber...all hot-swap without requiring the router to be powered down or rebooted. The power supplies are diverse and redundant. We can lose either power feed or power module or any combination of the two and still keep the router powered up.

We are currently peering with three GigE upstream providers with a fourth GigE provider being turned up this week for unprecedented capacity and diversity for an ISP our size. We are already exploring and evaluating 10GigE Interfaces as our requirements continue to increase. We have no reason to believe the MikroTik platform will not continue to deliver the exceptional performance we have become accustomed to.

Every client gets a MikroTik CPE router that we own and manage regardless of the medium used (microwave, copper, fiber etc.) to deliver their data circuit. A MikroTik as a client CPE router gives us terrific flexibility and diagnostic abilities. MikroTik allows us to provide the detailed information required to identify and resolve problems at the client side quickly and efficiently. We have made countless "IT Guys" heroes in the eyes of their employers more times than I care to remember.

I firmly believe we would not be where we are today, offering the level of service we are able to provide without MikroTik at the core of our network.

Just login on, let's say 333, lasts 3 seconds comparing to PC P3 800MHz where it lasts just a blink of eye.
