The Ubunto is the way to go for the best cpu performance. I am pretty anti GNS3/dynamips as I like real equipment. However, I have found that I have ran 27 routers with BGP, ospf and eigrp with a TON of traffic going on and all the trimming and my cpu won't go above 70% sometimes a little higher, but that's great. This is on "Gaming machine" I built which has a 3.8 overclocked to 4.4ghz and 8 gigs ram. The ram was key, 8 gigs is barely enough for all that! I think I might upgrade to 16 later on.
Ubunto is easy stuff, the easiest I ever worked with. Windows is so clunky in comparison. There are some great tutorials out there on gns3, just go searching for them you'll find it. --- On Fri, 10/9/09, Vikas Sharma <[email protected]> wrote: From: Vikas Sharma <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [OSL | CCIE_RS] processor usage in GNS3 To: "MANNY Omari" <[email protected]> Cc: "<[email protected]>" <[email protected]> Date: Friday, October 9, 2009, 1:33 PM Hi Manny, There is no error at all. I am going through the doco for gns plus trying a few other things. The moment I get it working I will let you know. And don't worry, my experience with Linux is minimal so I too learn as I go. Anyhow you should be able to install ubuntu and gns in less than an hour. It's almost hands free installation.

I have verified that Dynamips is running, IOS images path is mapped in GNS. I cannot open the net file. Any help will be much appreciated. Regards, Vikas.

I loaded Ubuntu in no time at all and with 1 simple command you mentioned below, GNS3 was up and running in 15 minutes. So uncomplicated and straight forward. Manny, this is the best way to go. I'll load up the IPEXPERT lab and start up all devices and take a look at CPU utilization. But setup wise it was a breeze. Once again, thanks a lot for your sharing. Cheers, Vikas.

Installing GNS3 on Ubuntu is ridiculously easy it's "sudo apt-get install gns3". The installation documentation is pretty good, it can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/installation-guide/index.html & the support forums at http://ubuntuforums.org. A word of advise though, read the faqs before asking something, they tend to get a snippy if you ask a question that's been answered 100 times.
