that will actually be more than enough to just run ntop and other network analysis tools. You could run an entire company's worth of network traffic too doing stateful inspection and you'd be fine.. i've done it.
BTW, a Cisco PIX 515/520 is, guess what, a Pentium 3 (older ones are Pentium 2s) with 128mb of RAM.. network analysis and inspection and routing and all that jazz doesn't take a whole lot of horsepower, contrary to what the networking companies want you to believe. So, yes, ntop and similar apps can be credited with breathing new life into your old gaming box from 1996 that's sitting in your closet :) --- Gianpaolo Serafini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I would like to run ntop on a PC Pentium 3, 128 Mb ram, 10 Gb HD.
