PIX Sizing For VPN Usage

Is there any docs that state the PIX sizing needed to support VPNs? I will be having 40-50 users accessing our Intranet via the Internet through Cisco VPN software and authenticating on a Pix. What size of PIX would I need so I don't suffer performance loss?

Thanks

Take a look at the 506 technical data sheet at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/pd/fw/sqfw500/prodlit/index.shtml. It says DES throughput 6 Mbps, 168-bit 3DES throughput 6 Mbps and only 4 Simultaneous VPN peers where the other models can handle up to 2,000 peers at 100Mbps and have hardware acceleration cards available. I would check with your Cisco rep before finalizing you’re decision.
