Re: new R&S lab 4.0 home lab upgrade.

If you are going the dynamips route then make sure you have a powerful
server to run your topologies. I tried running 7 router network with few
switches on a dell powervault an intel dual core 3.0 ghz with 4GB ram and it
was just too slow!

I convinced my boss to buy dual-core dual or quad CPU with server with 8GB
ram and things are a lot smoother than they ever were. Its similar to this
on ebay
DELL POWEREDGE 1850 2 X 2.8GHZ DUAL CORE
XEON<http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5574805266&toolid=10001&campid=5336373970&customid=&icep_item=200360744111&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg>

Good luck studying!
