      I've been looking at them but they are all only single channel RAM so may be slower in some circumstances.

      Thanks

        @daniel_hyde but with the bandwidth of DDR5 would single vs dual channel matter anymore? Especially for a firewall device?

          It may do as it will affect latency too
          IIRC the new chips support up to DDR5 4800 which gets you 38.4GB/s and dual channel DDR4 3200 of the old chips gets you 51.2GB/s.
          Having said that the devices I've seen with the new chips were DDR4 not DDR5 so would only have 25.6GB/s.

          Thanks

            @riahc8 just to muddy the waters a bit.

            Have you had a look at the new hotness that is the N95 /N100/N305? Most of those same resellers either already are or will be releasing the new chips at roughly the same price.

            Dude Ive posted multiple threads about this and now I get a answer.....

            I already got a J6413

              @riahc8 ๐Ÿ˜ can't remember seeing your other threads. Do let us know how the J6413 performs for you once you get it set up.

              @Daniel_Hyde the systems I was looking at are all DDR5, probably from the same ODM. For those of us running single channel ram (I'm currently on a single stick of 8GB DDR4) I doubt it'll make a huge difference.

              Will be interesting to see the post about the new chips once they flood the market tho.

                They sent a N5105 because they are dumbasses....

                Having a issue with their 4G card but thats troubleshooting.

                Thank you all for the help

                BTW, on a intresting note: I imported my old config from my old virtualized pfSense and the WAN was 10Mbps......Started from stratch the it gives me roughly the same speed as my ISP router so....Very intresting

                  @riahc8 the N5105 has only slightly lower scores on passmark and geekbench so performance should be roughly the same.

                  I've never done a move from VM to bare metal but make sure you get the updated Bios for the N5105 since it provides more options for tweaking and solves a few lingering problems with stability.

                    Asked for BIOS update, they dont have.

                    Also 32GB vs 16GB...

                          @riahc8 16GB officially but reports of 32GB running on the N5105 along with info on bios updates can be found here:

                          I'm still waiting on the 2 port N100 they promised by end of May.
