I am not sure I fully understand your question, but I will try and answer.
If you run dynamips under Vista you will have a performance hit over
running
it under Linux. But even with the hit, you should be able to run 10
routers
OK.
Make sure you are using the correct IdlePC value and your configuration
has
ghostios=True, and sparcemem=True. Also, adjust your ram so it is the
minimum needed. You can usually get away with much less ram then what
Cisco
specifies.
As for the virtual pod software. The reason I was developing the virtual
pod disk was to allow Windows users access to Dynamips by using a linux
boot
CD. Since the dynamips author ported the program to Windows, it is not
really needed. I have been considering porting the management interface
to
Windows as a number of people told me that was a nice feature.

Paul,
Are these results due to the Vista OS? I have a Dell 2 Core with 4GB and
am
sluggish at 10 routers.
Should I consider the Vista.
PS: what is the status of the development with the virtual pod?
Thanks

That should work fantastic.
I have a Inspiron 6400 with 2 GB running Vista and have no problems
running
10+ routers. I usually run dynamips on one core and the other core is
left
for whatever else I want to do on the pc.
Take care

Hi:
Does any one have good experience using a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop for
Dynamips?
Intel Core 2 Duo T5450 1.66GHz with 4GB of Memory.
Thanks.
