I don't know about quad 100, but dual 100 + other stuff, a 4700M
performs much better than a PPro200 with multiple 3c590 boomerang
cards.
This is especially noticeable with the MTUs are quite low (done to
keep jitter to a minimum).
The 4700M runs a 150Mhz IDT something with 256k L2 cache, so its more
or less comparable on CPU, if that.
