For my fellow geeks....

Was doing homework at home today where i needed to run a TON of Virtual Machines....

Didn't expect this:

Notice that there are 3 Server2003 VMs, 2 Cent OS VMs, and 2 XP VMs.

All running... Not on suspend, or pause, or anything. lol.

The 1st core spike was when I started NewSID.

I'm quite proud of my computer.

Spec:
AMD Phenom X3 8600B 2.31 GHz (Tri-Core)
4 GB of DDR2-1066

Die. . I got the first good SLI board but its so dated now. I want to build a new computer when SCII comes out.

Server 2003 is nice and lighweight (makes a better gaming OS than XP/Vista/7) but I run 7 now since I Server 2003 looks dated and you have to jump through hoops to get certain things to install.

I'm using nearly as much RAM running one Windows 7 :rofl:

Damn I'm waiting for SCII to come out as well they keep pushing back the damn date!

Have you tried "Workstation" 2008? Was it you that recommended that to me last year?

Nope, haven't tried it.

7 vm's is not a lot. While you may not have the vm operating systems suspended, the hypervisor is inserting wait states in to the vm process based on vm cpu load. VM ram is paged out, etc.

I have a rack full of older DL380's (2.6Ghz quad cores), each hosting 20-30 vm's at any given time.
