I know SSD is recommded running up front and I have a good one on a pretty decent xeon dell with 8gig ram..the processor doesn't show overload ever, the ram doesn't get hit hard..but with 2 maybe 3 qubes running and taking into consideration it shares one router to the modem with 2 other machines...I'm beginning to think that any slow downs are happening because one or the other machines is clogging up the router...and while the qubes arch keeps this separated when these machines are all plugged into the same router it's like they are in there having a secrets telling party...
well, i was going to get a solid wd black, or max out on the ssd (these are going in the workstation as qubes is being worked on in the laptop...they have the same specs just the workstation is got more juice..i mean basically the same)..
the question is..do I complete the endless goal of [ a. getting the 2nd (and which one) NIC and cause the workstation to arbitrate as THE router and keeping things separated correctly maybe by pfsense and friends..almost get how that is to be implemented and am priviting OPNsense to get involved more..they asked me what I wanted them to do all I had said was give me an .iso so I can make the VM... and is that probably why my Qubes which is coming along joanna gonna get a nobel medal.......
or, am I wrong in that and so A) max the ram from 8 to 16 (it's costly as I would want to keep up the ECC), or B) go ahead now and get what I will need eventually too expensive a 4GB WD black as I have to match another 4GB drive and raid may happen sometime.. or C) get I have plenty of HDD, 8gig ram seems like it's not the problem..and so all in on the SSD for the workstation ..the pro samsung 3d one is robust but my budget is the shits..
So, isolate these computers as bog downs seem to break through when I kill a process even though its not even in the Qubes machine..and if so how to properly do that...It may be as simple as correctly setting up the Dlink to qos or whatever to stop that interference. one day I swear I thought one computer was playing music that another one should have been although it was faded etc...
Or, for this month, get the ram maxed, or 1 of the 2 drives both I will need eventually...
Remember, this is because I can't find a good explanation for why I get really bogged except it seems to be because of competition for router..and failures in other computers which share the router...
I need to get this right as it's ready and getting more ready (qubes that is) and I want it to have a proper platform.
thanks
