Hi there guys.. I am planning on two new builds within the next couple of days.
System 1 = Virtual Servers lab (vSphere) + Swap drive with W7 for normal gaming/media center (CoD MW2, BF2 once in a while)
System 2 = Desktop PC replacement (Audio encoding, Photoshop, Office, iNet browsing and everything else)
I wonder if 1090T is a better choice for vSphere although it is 6 cores/ 6 threads compared to i7 which is 4 cores / 8 threads.
I am not worried about the ultimate drop of performance/clock speed.. I want to have as many VMs as possible. (DC, SQL, Exchange, SharePoint, SCCM, and 2 more) I even though about a TrendMicro mobo and two CPUs but Xeons are out of my budget. (I already have brand new CM Stacker cases, Ultra X3 > 1000 PSUs, BluRay burners, SSD drives)
So... basically I am looking for some advice/suggestions. I am leaned towards using Gigabyte or ASUS mobos, GSkill Ripclaw sticks (tired or Corsair), eVGA GTX 470, Prolimatech Megahalems Rev.B CPU Coolers or Tuniqs 120 Extreme.
I will appreciate any help.
