I have the Q6600 quad core vista 64 bit OS, 8gb ram and dynamips fly's on
it. I know if I move to ubuntu it will be even faster but it runs fine now
so why change OS's!
Do some research on the processor before you buy. Like the Q8300 comes with
a very crappy 4mb cache, waste of money.
It must be a quad core. The Q6600 packs a lot of bang for the buck and is a
VERY good processor. It's better then some of the new ones.
