Hello,
I use VM Workstation 10, i run Windows7 VMs and each VM plays a 3D game. I want to build a "desktop computer" that exclusively runs VMs and runs as many VMs as possible, what is the best cost-effective setup? should i use i7 or XEON? dual socket? what OS to boost performance? is there a software cap for the number of VMs i can use?...
This computer will run 24/7 and it has to be stable. Each VM needs 1 GB RAM and 3-4 GB of disk space.
The computer im running atm can handle stable 30 VMs and unstable 36 VMs:
i7-4930k
64GB RAM
SabertoothX79
128+256GB SSD (one with Windows7 OS and the other for the VMs)
GTX 660 3GB
Any advice is welcome (even basic/obvious stuff).
Thanks a lot.
