Even a 1,8 ghz Atom can max out a 100mbit line … you don't need much …

I am prepared to pay a pile of cash for a computer that I will dedicate to run a relay. I have a 100 Mbit/s symmetric connection. What should I buy? I don't want to buy something that has a too slow CPU that is not able to push enough traffic, but I also don't want to overkill and get a huge electricity bill.
Sebastian, How much CPU does your relay have/use?

Hi Farid, I'm running my Guard / Relay on a VPS with only one core and 512MB RAM. Its also hosting a blog, my own mailserver and is member of pool.ntp.org I haven't encountered any problems so far. It's also connected via 100MBit/sec You can see the stats here: https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/F381D6294A93A0078B76D0DCA332133CF5C8F6... https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/F381D6294A93A0078B76D0DCA332133CF5C8F687 I experimented a bit in the last weeks with being a bridge, but I now I'm back as a Relay... therefore the performance charts are not as high as they have been at the end of last year.

Hello,
I have been running low powered middle relays for a few years. Now I think it's time for a small upgrade. I haven't looked at computer hardware for a long time. What is the cheapest and most power efficient CPU/motherboard that can saturate 100 Mbit/s as a Tor relay?
Thanks.
