If you had said virtu@l machines I would have figured it out sooner or later. lol
I think I've got the low end of the midgrade Intel processor being an i5-3450. Clocked to 3.716 ghz. I think I might be able to push it further if I upped the voltage, since if I go past 3.8 it starts hating on me. lol
I feel so insignificant with y'alls rigs.

lol you should see our new vmware host machines...
we have 3 new ones and each has:
2 Intel Xeon E5-2440 processors (2.4GHz hex core) with HT
(in other words that is 12 processing cores and 24 logical processors)
196GB DDR3 RAM
8x 3TB hot swap SAS drives in dual RAID-5 setup.
4x 1Gbps networking.
quick little machines. They do have a reason for having that kind of power though...V-irtual machine hosts need to have a lot of power...
those guys are running VMWare ESXi 5.0
yes Xeons* are more of a server processor, but there are a few desktop boards and "precision workstations" that also use Xeon processors...
Intel basically breaks up their processor line into three types...
Celeron - basically the cheapest and worst quality out of a processor wafer. They are slower, wont tolerate much if any overclocking, and usually found in cheap desktops and laptop like the kind you find at office depot...
Pentium/core - consumer grade processors for desktops, laptops, and workstations. They will handle the upper end of computers and gaming machines.
Xeon - The premium line of processors reserved for elite workstations and server class machines. They are the best chips on the wafers and are made for heavy complex multi-tasking high load/demand, and mission critical 24/7/365 operation.
As for OS: Windows 7 Enterprise x64 on work desktop and work laptop
Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on home desktop.

Isn't it fun to make?

Best part is the end, Cat5 is 8 connectors in a row, Cat6 is 4 over 4, it has a special plastic connector you have to get the wires through before you put them into the end...
