    coldeath got a reaction from Grape Guild in No more unboxings in Linus Tech Tips in 2014?   
    quality over quantity... sound good to me...
     
    wait, does it mean more guide-build video too? like not only high-end configuration but also mid-end configuration.
     
    at least, a few of my friend, complain to me about, most of your build guide is high-end configuration. 
     
    but overall, i'm on board.

    coldeath got a reaction from raxx in Upgrade to Haswell? VMWare involved.   
    Hi all,
     
    i like linus tech tips so much, i always watch and like his video, and lately i miss the live show on twitch tv? anybody know what time they start now? don't want to miss another one this week. ( i know a little bit out of topic )
     
    ok, the question i want to ask, and i know a lot of people already asking this but i haven't found any information regarding the performance increase while running VMs.
     
    right now, my primary rig setup specs are
     
    processor : core i7 930 @ 3.0 (don't want to push too much) --> to intel haswell core i7
    motherboard : asus sabertooth x58 --> z87 motherboard
    memory : gskill pc12800 12gb ( 6 x 2 GB) --> 16 gb or 32 gb
    graphic : zotac gtx 460 1gb --> gtx 770 
    boot drive : wd 500gb blue --> replace to 120 gb intel ssd (only few brand available in my country, either intel, corsair, kingstone, adata). the 500gb will be use as storage on my home server)
    storage : wd 1tb green
    psu : corsair hx750 gold
    cooler : corsair h80i
    case : bitfenix shinobi xl
     
    with the new haswell coming out, i'm planning to upgrade my processor, motherboard, memory, and graphic(plan like above). also adding an ssd and 1 more monitor. is it worth to upgrade to haswell with my current setup now? basically i use this machine for gaming and while i'm working at home, my work require me to be able to run at least 2 vm(1 application server and 1 database server) or my last project require me to make 5 virtual enviroment(1 application server, 1 database server, 1 DR server for application, 1 DR server for db and 1 cron task machine) with each vm must met these requirement.
     
    v-processor : 2 core
    v-memory : 4gb (sometimes just 2, ,sometimes 8)
    v-hdd : 40 - 80gb
    v-lan : 2
    os : windows server 2008 x64 or windows server 2008 r2
     
    thank before.
