Every  firewall appliance product I have seen uses PC hardware
(usually P5 200).

Nothing wrong with it -- and I guess expected.

Subject: Inside PIX?

There was a posting in relcom.comp.security some days ago: one man
told he opened the PIX box and guess what was inside? Yep, you are
right. The generic chinese PC motherboard with Pentium CPU.
Not just some Pentium-based piece of hardware, but _PC_ motherboard.
IDE controller and some other things were removed but..
