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.
