New Study Machine - Hyper-V
-
Hi All, I have always used VMWare on my laptop for studying purposes. The laptop runs an i5, 6GB RAM and standard HDD. It has performed pretty well overall for running 1-2 servers and a client over the last few years, but as you can imagine, it's at its limits! I have picked out a new machine running an i7-4790, 32GB RAM, 256GB SSD with a 2TB HDD. It will be running Windows 8.1 Pro and as far as I can tell, the OS and spec support all the requirements to run Hyper-V. I am aware there are only 8 threads on the i7, but this machine is only for study purposes so the machines won't be running anything too heavy and only running perhaps 3-4 VM's at once. How will the machine stack up? I know it will be a massive improvement in comparison to what I have now, but I don't want to spend out and then find there is a bottleneck holding me back! Thanks
