Thanks Matt. I have been thinking about moving to a 64 bit OS just overcome some of the Java problems.

Subject: Helpful Observation for Dynamips Users

Hi GS:

For those using dynamips out here. Here is an observation - I guess I owe
it considering how many questions I've asked. When starting router and
switch instances, close everything else on your computer. Start no more
than 3 devices at a time - depending on how robust your processor is. Allow
the instances to FULLY load before loading the next set- especially allowing
the switches to bring up all 15 links. This has almost eliminated the layer
2 problems I've had with dynamips.

Also, to get real gauge on where CPU would idle, you have to type something
into console on each device after it loads, or the idlepc won't take effect

HTH
