. . . probably not much help here, Patrick, but I'd get the fastest
processor you can get and as much memory as your machine will hold. But as
you've suggested, it's really the capability of the ethernet card that's
most important.

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
