RE: Core I-9 processor

No question the setup should be able to run two R&S topologies, shoot you
could probably run 3 or 4 topologies easily with R&S with ease.

My only suggestion is to test it out. It most likely will work fine.

But to really do the SP topologies you should be using some 720xVXR's with
the 12.2S train, other devices could be 3725's or 3640's with 12.3T.

I have not tested in 6 months or so but I found that PEMU didn't idle out so
well with the ASA images.

The above two reasons would be the only reason I would bring up a concern,
the SP and Security mock ups both require more processing/memory power than
a simple R&S Topology.

it should work just fine, I have that same setup and can run 2 labs with no
problems. The key will be to find the right idlepc value, I run only one INE
lab and cpu goes between 15%-30% when I'm adding my configs and drops to 0%
when the topology is stable on a core-i7 930.

thanks Tyson,

it was a type i mean 8 GB RAM.

Well the reason i want to run parallelly is that i would be putting this
server on wireless so that me and my friend can access it at the save time.

I am preparing for SP and he is preparing for security, so i was wondering
if we can pool in and use this machine for our lab study.

thanks
