Shahid,
It *might* be worth your time to experiment and see what you see, but I
doubt that anyone can post here and claim for certain that you're going to
be OK with this. It's pretty borderline, IMHO, and there are a great many
variables in each unique situation. I personally would only bother even
trying if I could dedicate the machine to this and only this.
Honestly, I remain fairly ignorant of OS X even after a handful of months,
although with an initial couple of weeks of intense battle, I got to the
point where I could write my own scripts and do some quasi-advanced things.
Going in, I had only ever seen Macs in television commercials! Dynamips is
always an investment in time, certainly all the more so if you have to learn
an entirely new OS. Don't seriously consider it as a cornerstone of your
CCIE lab prep if you can't afford to expend some of your valuable study time
in an effort to getting it all working and then, following that, getting it
working well! I *personally* do not recommend that anyone do CCIE lab prep
on any Windows OS and I *personally* don't recommend Dynamips for CCIE lab
prep to anyone short on time. Once you get it tweaked, it's a dream. But
no one can offer you any shortcuts or guarantees, as there are just so
damned many variables from one situation to another...
Regards,
Scott

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
