initially, for my home setup, i was running my UTM on an AMD e350. TWC upgraded me to the 200mbit services, and i could never get more than 20-25mbits downstream. from this board, i was advised that this processor was completely inadequate to handle the 200mbits, so i upgraded to an AMD 5350, which again was giving me about 20-25mits; again, from this board, i was advised that this was inadequate.
so what i did was create a VM on my i7 950 using two cores and allocating 16GB to a new UTM and again, i'm getting no more than 20-25mbits downstream.
i'm completely dumbfounded as to what's going on. as with all three setups, i'm running IDS, web filtering, and ATP. there are only three users that really use the internet at home, and even then it's used primarily for web browsing, and the occasional streaming, so nothing is constantly nabbing huge portions of the downstream limit.
one thing i did notice is that the RAM usage is fairly high. initially, i allocated 8GB, which is what the previous two UTMs used without any issues, but with this VM, 8GB was always maxed out, and even with the 16GB allocation, RAM usage is at about 75%. while running speedtest, the CPU runs at about 5%. oh yeah, i'm running 9.315-2.
any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
