I need to make a new webserver/router to connect to my two internet 
connections (Cable and ASDL)

It occurs to me to use an Asus P5B Deluxe Wi-Fi AP motherboard

which has two gigabit NICs built in
plus an Intel Core 2 Duo E6300.
    

This should probably go to the fedora user list as its not to do with testing

  

Does this make  sense ?
    

It's probably overkill if it's just routing, unless you are tying together
multiple 10Mbit+ feeds with BGP4 ...

  

I get the impression that if one runs a 64 bit system, one may need 
twice as much memory (if all the datastructures are twice as wide).
    

Some are bigger so a bit more but not twice.
