I updated from a Q6600 to an i7 860 recently. Not amazing speed
wise, but I can run 8 threads and use more than 8GB of RAM. The RAM was
the big thing for me. If you're planning to do a lot with VMs I'd
suggest at least an extra drive if not more if you can swing it.
You mean for storing the VMs?
I have two drives locally now, RAID1 mostly. And I also test storing VMs
on an nfsV4-storage via gigabit ethernet. Quite OK. And NFS-storage is
more quiet ;-)
That's works. :-) I was doing a fair amount of rpm building, svn to git
with large trees, kickstart, Mysql, and Puppet work at a job a few
months ago which was hitting the host fairly hard. Between the above and
Outlook getting an extra drive to isolate the host OS from the VMs was a
requirement. Much smoother after that.
