Hello,

 

I have a question regarding hardware specifications.  What would you consider to be the ideal amount of memory and processor speed to run an optimal network analysis?  I’m not really sure if processor speed is an absolute requirement, but I’m assuming that it does play some role in stability and multitasking.  By the way, the sole purpose of this device would be simply to perform data captures during network troubleshooting.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Patrick
