Irwan, I am using a dual 1.13 Ghz PIII with 2 Gig of memory sniffing off of a fibber card as dedicated sensors. The task on the processors is on 3%. Brian N.

Use dual processor, P IV Xeon with for example 2.8 Ghz and 512 KB L2 Cache, or single processor P IV Xeon with 3.06 Ghz but with 1 MB L2 Cache? Does the size of L2 cache of the processor matters in speeding up Snort, especially in monitoring gigabit Ethernet traffic?
