In fact, I am in the process of making a selection on the OS platform. I built a W2K PC and a Solaris SPARC workstation. Loaded Realsecure and let it loose as a network sensor in front of my firewall. The W2K runs on a 800 Mhz PIII with 128MB RAM, while the SUN runs on a SPARC 5 with 128MB RAM (Solaris 2.6). We have two T3 to the Internet, however, I can only mirror one port on the Nortel 450 switch, so I could not compare both of them side by side. I ran the W2K network sensor first, and it was brought down to it's knees. It did not crash, but I could tell the machine was hit quite hard. I tried turning on global response using the e-mail feature, and that completely bombed the sensor. I am doing the same on the Solaris platform (without the global response). It too was brought to its knees. CPU % averages to almost 95% at all times. I have been advise by tech support to increase the RAM to 256MB on both boxes. What are you using for your hardware and what OS did you choose? If you could, please explain why you choose one over the other (OS). Thanks! Vincent
