I'm WAY out on the bell curve... I have two PCs. One of them, the one I sit in front of, has four monitors (on one Radeon HD card), video capture and playback, digital and analog audio (digital goes to a surround system receiver, analog to gaming headphones), an SSD plus a dual-3Tb raid1 all in a hot-swap bay, and a bunch of other stuff (mostly usb - lab equipment, scanner, two android devices, etc). It's a six-core i7 with 24 GB of RAM, and typically about half the RAM is in active use (the rest is for cache). I have some guest OSs but don't run them unless I need to, but the PC itself is up 24/7. I run fvwm2 across all monitors as one giant screen (the main screen is not the leftmost screen, and eventually won't be the topmost one either), and assign two virtual desktops to the local PC. I tried gaming under a composited desktop but the FPS dropped so compositing was dropped too. The other two virtual desktops are assigned to my other PC, which sits in the basement and only talks over X and ssh. I do *not* use any ramdisks or tmpfs. I also remove abrt as it takes too long to run if anything crashes (they tend to be BIG crashes). This setup is used for software development, gaming, EDA, email (10 mailboxes to monitor), web, and as a home (er, office :) theater. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
