I am about to start school next semester at uat to learn network security. so here is my question. I am trying to build a desktop, and was wandering if there was any specific hardware that I should be running ? as well as software? any advice would be great.

Not too bad, RAM is dirt cheap now (no $5/mb anymore), HD space is cheap (get yourself a 750gb hd for under $200; which is insane, i bought my 500GB hd for like $500!)... Processor will vary based on if you want to be AMD or Intel; which will decide a lot more... Myself, I'd go AM2 processor, Dual Core, 2GHz+, 2-4GB ram based on what you can afford. Some motherboards support up to 8GB ram... I remember when they just started 8MB! lol _________________________ Donate to UGN Security here.

Gremelin Community Owner Registered: 02/28/02 Posts: 7192 Loc: Portland, OR; USA	When I tell peopel to buy a laptop, i recommend the largest video card, processor, and display they can afford; you can always buy hd's and ram... _________________________ Donate to UGN Security here.

Gremelin Community Owner Registered: 02/28/02 Posts: 7192 Loc: Portland, OR; USA	I don't know, it seems retarded sometimes, the one driver for all crap... Every time I update drivers i have a problem, on my DVR it shows black and white on svideo output; i have to go in and do "restore defaults" on ONE option, which I never remember where it is... lol... so i spend 2 weeks looking for it then eventually i find it lol... _________________________ Donate to UGN Security here.
