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.

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.
Using Cat6 networking cable?

Isn't it fun to make?

Cat5 is easy. Cat6 is a little harder at first, the cable is thicker, has a plastic runner in the middle to keep the colors better separated, etc..

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...
