Hi folks,
next question on cpus.
I5 or e3? E3 will give me 8 threads.
I am currently using an e3 low power in my main UTM, but to get reasonable performance it appears to need a base load eg streaming music and I think that might be the problem with the other i3-xt series cpus I use. Not enough activity to raise the cpu speed.

I suspect some of this discussion from my point of view is really technical, not practical, my line speeds peak on a good day at 5mb/s unless I using the 3g card when it hits 10mb/s. My son does have a 100/2 connection so getting his UTM right will be good.

It is foxtel cable 100/2 on a good day. He often complains about the download speed and ping times. Me, I would quite happily settle for 10/1 or maybe even 20/1.
most of m utms use the Intel little server mb running intel nics. I think I will upgrade him to an e3-1245v2 runs rings around the i3 xt. His box has 4gb I think.
Thank you
Ian
