Hardware and Performance / Newbie Questions - Is this enough CPU? & Esxi Nic setup
« on: July 03, 2020, 04:54:20 am »
I was hoping to run a Opnsense firewall via ESXI along with an "occasional use" win10 Vm & a Nas (undecided which one but will only be on 1 hr a night) on a Pentium G5420 (2.8Ghz dual core w/HT)
Is this enough or should I upgrade to an i3/i5?
Also, is it best practice to pass the Nic that the ISP will connect on thru to Opnsense or just leave it part of the EXSI Nic-pool? There will be 5 1Gb ports total
