Hi All
Been a very happy home user of UTM for a while now (2 years i think)
I've been running Dual Wan ADSL2 (2x 10 megabit lines) with a single LAN. About 20 devices connected. Just your usual home stuff like PCs, phones, tablets, HTPCs, NAS's etc.
Its running UTM on a DualCore Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 small factor HP PC. 2 gig of ram. Onboard Lan and 2x realtek NICs. With an old 80gb hard drive.
Want to do some refreshing of hardware:
the two areas I am thinking I should look at is:
1) replace the Lan's NIC with a quality Intel 1Gigabit/s card?
2) upgrade the hard drive to a new 7,200RPM model? (I see cheap consumer SSD's are not recommended ?)
Would these couple of changes improve the performance?
Anything else I should look at?
Is it ok to leave the ADSL links on Realtek NIC's - I wouldnt have imagined a performance gain switching to Intels?
The CPU seems to handle the job well, it doesnt max out. Ram seems to always be ok too.
