All /darklordrouter,

You have core duo ,Ok What is its processor speed ? is it below 2 Ghz?
Can any one tell me how many devices can work smoothly on
(core 2 duo 2 Ghz + 2 Gb Mem + Windows XP as i did not have exp on Linux) or
it is useless to spend your time on Dynamips for 2X2 Ghz + 2 Gb Ram

Thanks
