[tor-relays] What kind of hardware do I need for my relay

[Petrusko]

Hey Farid,
Have you found an interesting low cost hardware since this last message ?
Sometimes I try to look for it, but there's a lot of little cards like
RPi, Banana... sadly I think it has not enough CPU power to play with a
lot of Tor traffic :s

On the torserver webpage, there's a command line to know if the cpu has
AES-NI acceleration.

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep aes

For fun, I've tried on a laptop with Intel Core 2 Duo... no result shown
after this command.
So sadly this laptop will not be enough strong to have fun with this
kind of crypto... it's sad because it's not burning a lot of watts!

> I still can't completely explain why it does not handle more.
