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
