processor speed. You can use
computers with a lower processor
speed; however, you might experience
longer response times and slower
performance.
RAM 384 MB RAM recommended, 512 MB RAM
optimum
Cisco recommends using 512 MG
RAM for networks with 25 nodes or
more to avoid longer response times
and slower performance.
