  1. The vPro is for something else: Intel® vPro™ Technology is a set of security and manageability capabilities built into the processor aimed at addressing four critical areas of IT security: 1) Threat management, including protection from rootkits, viruses, and malware 2) Identity and web site access point protection 3) Confidential personal and business data protection 4) Remote and local monitoring, remediation, and repair of PCs and workstations. CPU does have the needed virtualization things, and also those options are turned on by me.
  2. I don't think my current system will benefit from the newer graphics card. Before GT780 I was having GTX550 and it still worked fine. Changed it to 780, because wanted better performance in games I will try to explain it: I'm using VirtualBox for virtual machines. I'm only running 1 of them, for ex.: Host is Windows 10 x64 (Main operating system on the machine), and the Virtual Machine is Windows 7 x64. On the Virtual Machine, I don't need to put the Visual Studio, because I can use Remote Debugging to debug my programs, but the Virtual Machine itself feels very, very slow. As for the Visual Studio - I need to run several instances (as an ex. I have written about 4 instances) on the Host/Main operating system. To be honest - I'm very skeptic about investing money into older hardware
  3. Hi all, I've got some problems with what path to choose - upgrade or only modernization and I don't know in which way should I go to get the "thing" ;). Long story short - I'm a developer. Before that, I was servicing, modernizing and upgrading pcs for many clients for a couple of years. I want to modernize/upgrade/throw away my 4-year-old computer to something more capable of fast pacing and changing environment. 4 years ago when I've built my current machine I was having a good knowledge of it. Now - I'm stuck because I don't know what to do. Maybe somebody could help me with it? What I want - The PC that will be capable of running flawlessly VirtualBox/VMware/hyper-v virtual machines without a hint that it's working on a host (a dream ;), I'm only using 1 instance of VM for testing purposes on some of the projects), 3-4 instances of visual studio, some gaming (from time to time, recently I've bought a PS4 Pro console and as for now - I don't need to change the video card, this will be taken into consideration in the next year maybe). Also, I don't want to change PC peripherals every year. My current PC: - Motherboard: MSI X79A-GD65 (8D) LGA 2011 - Procesor: Intel Core i7-3820, 3.6GHz, 10MB - Cooler: CPU Thermalright HR-02 - Memory: Patriot Intel Extreme Masters 4x4GB DDR3 1866MHz CL9 1.5V, XMP 1.3 Quad Channel - Video card: Asus GeForce GTX 780, 3GB DDR5 (384 Bit) (GTX780-DC2OC-3GD5) - SSD: SSD Samsung 256GB SSD840 PRO SATAIII - HDD: Western Digital Red, 3.5'', 1TB, SATA/600, 5400 64MB cache (WD10EFRX) [x2] - Power supply: be quiet! Dark Power Pro 10 750W CM 80PLUS Gold - 3 Monitors, external USB 3.0 hub, printer x2, Blu-ray writer Options that I have taken into consideration: - Change CPU only and add additional memory to the current system - Change Motherboard, CPU (Can be AMD or Intel, it doesn't matter), and memory (the basis of what I'm thinking). I've got in one of the laptops the SSD m.2 2280 PCIe x4 Samsung SM951 NVMe, so I can reuse that if the motherboard will have m.2 slot. Also, 32GB of RAM is a must as I can see. Budget - I think that if I'm planning only to change the 3 things that 1000$ will be enough, could be less, or more. I've heard a lot about AMD Ryzen 7, Threadripper, etc. but to be honest - I'm stuck.
