    Looking for router that can monitor bandwidth by ip address (internal computers)

    I was thinking about that, but havent used linux much. Do you have suggests for what distro and apps to use? Also, do you know of any windows apps that can monitor by ip address. A windows based machine might be better for me.

I found a refurb 9800gx2 for $220 and a new 260 for $239 (192 core). Not sure what to get because the 9800gx2 didnt get great reviews but I think it will be...
