Wireshark · Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Capture machine spec?

["David Meagher" <dmeagher@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I've been tasked with spec'ing a capture analysis machine.
It will be used to do analysis of multiple 500mb capture's.

Can some one suggest a spec for a desktop pc to view these on?
Is ram more of an issue than CPU, or perhaps a sata/raid storage?

My laptop (1.6ghz pentium M with 512mb) is just toooo sloooooooooow.

Thanks,
David
