Hardware for pfSense and VirtualBox
-
Hello guys, i'm trying a new setup at the office using a Dell Poweredge 2850 - 2x Intel Xeon 3Ghx, 4Gb ram, 74Gb SCSI, 3xLAN. Here i have Windows 7 Ultimate installed and Virtualbox. Emulated a FreeBsd machine installed pfSense, imported the config from the current server, small adjustments and now all working BUT the CPU load never drops under 10% and when i start a download the CPU load goes up until 100%.
And this is just for 1 client,
Is there a problem because i run pfSense in VirtualBox? Is the PC config low to run this setup?
Thanks!

People are running in VirtualBox though. Where are you measuring the cpu load?
PfSense version? VB version?Probably best to ask in 'Virtualization installations and techniques' though.
