Simple question on which 4.5 for RB's?

Thu Jan 14, 2010 3:17 am

Hi.

I'm updating my installs as 4.5 has come out. I'm sadly unlucky enough not to own a RB750 or RB800. As I'm detailing all the packages for RB specific so I only take the files out I need when I need them (in the future) I'd like to know what install they are. Mipsle? Mipsbe? PPC? X86?

Just for whomever is in-charge of updating http://www.mikrotik.com/download.html all the other RB specifics show a small picture of the RB in question then below it which variation of routerOS to install. Thanks for all the hard work though, otherwise a real slick download process.

Josh Oliver.

maybe unrelated but what is the difference between mipsbe and ppc . or any document that describes the pros and cons ?

the PPC processors that we use in our high-end products are more powerful, and they are special networking processors. they are also more power hungry, bigger and more expensive. you can look at our new benchmarks and see the impressive performance:
