Re: gns3

Try adjusting the idlemax value. This can save you a LOT of cpu cycles! I
like to set it at around 500, some people go much higher. I've found that
large topologies will exhibit instabilities if you increase it too much.

You should be able to run 8 routers, without any issues with those specs.
Even better if you install Linux!
