Just get a Mac Pro, put VM Fusion on there and all of your issue's
will go away... It run's GNS3 with as many routers as I could ever
feel like using and the CPU rarely goes above 3 %!
You can run M$ Windows anything... Set up a few Wins 2003/8 servers on
there maybe even MS Exchange and you have a MS cluster to mess with...
Add some windows clients in a few VMs and maybe add a few Linux
Clients just for the heck of it plus get the stability of UNIX!!!
(All running at the same time!!!) I am just talking from experience
because that just described my Mac!
I can hear the moaning already but Mac's with VM Fusion on there makes
them the most versatile computers available! Plus Mac's actually have
a re-sale value, just check E-Bay!

You can get any flavour of linux. I use ubuntu 64bit. You machine
needs to have a 64 bit processor

I switched from Windows to Linux 64 bit as Rick mentioned and
performance has improved significantly.

If you are running GNS3 under Windows than it's pretty normal that
your CPU is at 100% all the time, even with the perfect idle PC
value. Dynamips just has poor performance under Windows as it needs
to be translated. Python is not able to run natively on Windows. If
you would use the same topology under 64 bit linux you would hardly
use 10%.
