Hey Guys,
I have a MAC Pro that I am using but dont think that it matters but if
you tune the "idle PC" , check the "ghost" IOS feature and enable
sparse memory... It uses hardly anything! I can have 10 routers going
all at the same time and its using very little memory and the CPU
never goes above 3 %... Read the FAQs on the site and I am sure you
will have the same results!

Running up the lab with a dual-core CPU is doable, but i think you
will be crunching the CPU pretty badly as you will be virtualizing
your GNS3 on your box with ubuntu.
to share my experience labbing up IPExpert with GNS ,
My system is a Quad-Core AMD with 8GB of RAM running Win Vista x64,
didn't virtualize the GNS as i'm saving the processing power for GNS.
If you tune your system right, running the IPExpert labs will do it,
but I noticed as I moving along the lab scenarios from layer 2 then
moving up to layer 3 especially when putting in BPG, Filters,
Mutlicast, i noticed that CPU on my system starts to climb even at a
steady rate of 95 to 98%. still responsive but sometimes i think
it's cozing some issue with neighbor adjacencies.
powering up the initial config of Vol 1 ACL/Filters lab just shoots
already my system to 90%+ CPU.
For memory, it's chewing up steady roughly at around 5GB+ powering
up GNS lab
Cheers!

Subject: [OSL | CCIE_RS] Minimum requirements GNS3 for CCIE Lab
Hi guys,
Based on your experience, what is the minimum processor and memory
requirements on a computer to run a complete CCIE Lab simulation
without any problems?
I´m thinking of buying a Core 2 Duo T9600 2.66Ghz with 6Gb of RAM
but I don´t know if that´s too much for what I really needs. I´ll
use a VMware software (Sun xVM VirtualBox) with Ubuntu 9.0.4 to run
GNS3.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Juan Corrales
