Everything being the same, which CPU would be better? The A4-3300, the Celeron G530 or it doesn't matter?
 
Are you utilizing an onboard NIC and do you plan on heavy compression? If not, it likely wont matter.

I have a little ASUS E35M1-I Fusion AMD E-350 1.6ghz loaded with 8gb of ram and a dual port intel nic, this thing serves iscsi traffic like a dream.
 
Maybe. It is gigabit, but I have 1 or 2 other Intel adapters I planned to throw in to either replace it or just for failover.
