Proper Memory for a Pfsense Rig?
-
What is the proper amount of memory for a 62 pc setup (63 including pfsense)?
The pfsense computer has 3 NICs. 1 is for the switch while 2 is for 2 different ISP connections.
We're only using 500mb (480 something) ddr1 ram on a pentium 4 pc for our pfsense setup.

It depends if you're going to run some packages or not.

The number of users is not nearly as important as the bandwidth you need to push.
What is your connection?
A Pentium 4 with 512MB is likely to be good for 200+Mbps though, depending on cpu speed.
If you are using VPNs that number will come down, a lot!Steve

My connection is a 4.5mbps. Yes. It is slow and we're not exactly getting the 4.5mbps because of bad service for our country.
The packages that are installed:
The rest of the tabs are empty.
There is a wireless access point connected to it and it's turned on and accessible via browser. Afaik, nobody uses it.
EDIT: Turned off the wireless access point and there were no changes.
