HI all.
I am about ready to finally replace me 3GHz HT machine !  Its been a good
old work horse, but its getting on now and needs a complete rebuild, but I
figure I might as well build a new machine.
 
What are people using these days?
 
I am thinking I might run a thin linux install with VMWare for Vista and XP.
My reason for this was that I am thinking of putting res. amount of RAM in,
maybe 8GB so my VM's would run res. speedy and thought Linux and vmware
might let me utilise this amount of RAM better.
However, I am also aware that Vista would be able to use this much ram too
so I could still use Vista and VMware for XP.
I would still prodomintaly use XP for development etc rather than Vista as
most of our client have XP and we have sorted out our Vista issues so I dont
need to run it day to day.
 
I will use SATA Raid, thats a given, but what about CPUs? 
Should I go for a quad core or a dual core?
 
I have kinda been out of the hardware side of things for about 1.5 years now
and have not really kept up.....to my shame ;-)
 
Thanks, Jeremy
