and complexity? I run an x58 ASUS Sabertooth board with i7-950 CPU and
24GB ram, and it seems up to most of what I even plan to do. With eight
threads I can handle lots of VMs, although I am running most with KVM
rather than xen. Newer boards will go to six (hyperthreaded) cores, but
I believe only support four sticks of mempry.
Anyone have experience using Shuttle XPC or similar Mini ITX? I wanna have powerful machine and would be nice if it's quite.
