I need to get with a fat company with some money to spend. Darroll Not one person lives in the present. Only the past. I can prove it.

That's the way to do it I've gotta say, back in the Pentium Pro days, i knew a guy who had a dual machine. Running VMWare in NT, with Linux just three keypresses away. I was sooo envious, but since most of my upgrades were motivated by games i wanted to play, i opted to shell out for better video cards instead. I still don't think i'd buy one for home use; if i was gonna spend the $$$ i'd prolly opt for a bigger monitor instead Shog9 ------ And on the pedestal, these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings, Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

Re: What about 8-way Gary Wheeler8-Oct-02 4:05 Gary Wheeler 8-Oct-02 4:05  We use an Intel server box with up to 8 Xeons, 4 Gb RAM, as a glorified print buffer. Of course, it's a print buffer for a $2.5M ink jet printing system that prints 1000 feet per minute (roughly 17 feet of paper per second). When we got our first one in the lab, we sacrificed a virgin co-op on it to properly inaugurate it...

I do quite a bit of graphics work too and it works perfectly fine. Sure I might like a bigger HD (currently have 20gig) but that is about it.

All thos Megahertzes to waste... I'm running a P4-1.7 with 512 megs of RAM. My boss spoiled me with a new one. It even plays UT 2k3 very nice. Greets, Martin Re: Slowest to date.... Elrond7-Oct-02 0:50 Elrond 7-Oct-02 0:50  All of you guys are lucky. My PC is 850Mhz, and that's OK, but with only 128Mo RAM, that's really bad for a development PC. Just loading VC++ gets me close enough to that . If I open almost any extra tool, I get over it... Speed is not every thing, and oftenI have to wait for a few second before my PC swap to another application Computers have enabled people to make more mistakes faster than almost any invention in history, with the possible exception of tequila and hand guns. - Carl Gundlach Re: Slowest to date....

I've got this thing at home with my 733 PIII/256MB pc starting VC++ and MS Word takes ages to accomplish if I compare it with the PC @ work. I'm glad my boss gave me a P4... Megahertzes are good!
