Hardware and Performance / Re: RAM speed impact on OPNsense performance

such that the impact of memory speed would rarely exceed 10%.

Thank you for precise explaination.

Considering the higher price, I would rather get more than faster RAM.

Alternatively the same amount of RAM but using slightly cheaper parts.

OPNsense doesn't filter what apps/websites you could use by default. There's either a blocklist enabled within Unbound settings or your DNS provider (at least the one you've configured in OPNsense) for some reason has a blocklist.

I would say 8GB for normal use.

I agree but sadly you didn't read my post and/or didn't understand the question

my dec670 has 4Gb  and it runs great for my purposes.

Theoretically I would be fine with 4GB too (I haven't seen usage above 2GB yet but I've got myself 8GB just to be safe). Unfortunately you didn't read and/or understand my post too

Let me rephrase the question: how much does RAM clock speed (and probably CAS latency) matter in terms of OPNsense performance? Let's *completely* ignore how much RAM is used (or let's just assume it's 8, 16 or even 768GB - it doesn't matter whatsoever).

While it's well documented how much RAM is recommended to use there's literally no information available about RAM speed impact on performance. Does it matter to use faster RAM on non-server platform (eg. prebuilt desktop PC from widely respected manufacturer so there's no ECC)?
