To be honest, the exact specs for the home license are not fully committed yet, so this may still change some. But we do need to balance the home license against commercial offerings.
With 4 cores and 6GB RAM, this stacks up to potentially a very powerful system, that can protect a large number of users in a business environment. we absolutely want to be generous to our home users, but bear in mind, we also need to be a little but cautious. As Ian suggests, I doubt you'll see any difference in capabilities between 6 and 8GB RAM in a home network. My home network is far from typical (though perhaps not so atypical in this crowd) four cores and 4GB RAM is much more than enough, even on UTM9
This news are very good thath the IP limit falls. 4 Cores and 6GB Ram is more than enough. It would be very bad / unusable with 1 Core and 1-2GB Ram. I tested it on the beta and i got 2 connectons in loadbalancing this goes up to 150Mbit Down and 60 Mbit Up. With 1 Core I couldn't use more than 30 Mbit even if I turned all security features off the CPU was all the time on 100%. With 2 Cores I get with all Services running about get 66% max and and a 6% avg if I use sometimes all the bandwith. I would like the others already suggest that Ram Limit should go to 8Gb because of the same reason that already was talked in this thread.
