Solve : IMPORTANT - Need help with Computer Specs? |
|
Answer» IMPORTANT - Need help with Computer Specs I am wanting to know what would be the cheapest (but reliable) hardware for a Windows XP Pro 32-bit (may possibly get Windows 7 Professional/Ultimate 64-bit) computer that would have the latest Java, SuperAntiSpyware, AVG Anti-Virus and Zonealarm Firewall installed and running, along with a proxy set up. This is the part that makes it hard to give you an answer. We don't understand why you want to o multiple emulations on a desktop PC. Normally and emulation is done because of some restraint, such as running just one special program that requires an special system environment . The is seldom done with more that one emulation at a time. In fact, some of the items listed above may not work in an emulation on a Desktop. So you have us confused. Without transposing private information, can you provide us some concept of what you want to do? Is this an Academic experiment? Is this to be a BUSINESS venture? Is this for goverment work? Something like this is a lot of work for a stranger to be doing. If this is a serious matter, I would go direct to a local PC shop. For the 20 Emulator PC, you want to go above the minimum, or else your emulated (OSes I'm GUESSING? for multiple SETi/Folding at Home runs?) you would be looking at at least a high range (8 core) Core i7 and at least 4GB of RAM for the XP 32-bit, but with Windows 7/Vista I would recommend at least 6GB, meaning a 64-bit OS. Power supply, if there are no graphics cards involved, a decent 500W should be more than enough. Even looking at the case, mobo, CPU and RAM, I think your $1000 mark would be reached quite easily. If you are looking for a fast machine, go to your local computer dealer, they can sort you out much quicker and easier than we can. Geek-9pm....it won't be government, they would be given the tools needed for their jobs. however, like Geek-9pm said, if we had a better idea of what you were trying to do, we might be able to help more. 20 emulators each using 128 MB adds up to 25,000 MB, doesn't it? Are there any motherboards that would house that amount of RAM? Quote any information on how to efficiently set up a proxy to prevent my real IP from being detected by anyone that would try to gain my IP Hmmm.....

It adds to 2560MB actually, according to the almighty MS Calc your calculation gives each emulated window 1250MB of ram I saw what you quoted too, but its simply better not to ask/get involved when it comes to things like that.

Can't we measure memory in bushels and quarts? Quote from: Salmon Trout on January 12, 2010, 06:15:51 AM *censored* this pesky metric system! Can't we measure memory in bushels and quarts?I think it's three quarts in a furlong, and six furlongs in a stone.What about the fathom's lad...ye can't ferget the fathoms...Patio, I do not fathom it. |
