I am curious as to what professional IA technicians use in the field
that typically perform scans against large networks (ie. multiple b and
c networks) use as their testing platform.

I am trying to convince my senior leadership to purchase a mid sized
tower with the following:

a.  AthlonXP64 highend cpu => 2.8Ghz or better
b.  2 10/100/1000 nics
c.  1-3 Gigs memory

Currently we use Dell Inspirons with Pentium IVs, 1Gig of Ram and 10/100
cards, base OS is Suse.

The laptops are run well but on Large scans memory is becomming an issue

I am hoping to use the GigE 1000BaseT capacity if I build these machines
when testing
on networks that have GigE as the underlying technology.

Overall if anyone can give me their experiences and recommendations it
would be greatly appreciated.
