JonathanD16GB ram.21:34
waltmannice21:36
JonathanDRunning minecraft :P21:36
JonathanDSomeone paid me with it.21:36
JonathanDwell, partially.21:37
waltmanbarter++21:37
waltmanIf I have to get a windows box for this postdoc, I don't know where I'm going to put it.21:37
JonathanDyou can host a windows VM on my new server.21:37
JonathanDthats what it's for.21:37
waltmanMaybe I'll get a big new linux box and put a vm on it.21:37
waltmanI probably need a big honkin' video card, too.21:38
JonathanDWhat are you doing with it?21:38
JonathanDhow honkin?21:38
JonathanDI have a couple spares.21:38
waltmanThe prof who'd be my adviser/boss is doing video analysis of stem cells.21:39
waltmanhe's doing something that he's offloading to GPUs21:39
JonathanDah21:39
JonathanDso you need real GPUs21:39
waltmanyeah21:39
JonathanDI don't have anything, other than a 285, that might be useful.21:40
waltmanhis work machine is some crazy big 17" alienware gamer laptop21:40
JonathanDThe 285 is probably too slow these days.21:41
waltmanI'm just using the onboard intel video on my 7+ year old mobo.21:41
JonathanDThats effectively useless in these cases :p21:41
JonathanDhttp://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-28521:42
JonathanDYou can have that if you want it, but I bet a newer one would have the same oomph for less watts.21:42
waltmanIt's fine so long as I don't do a lot of video watching21:42
waltmanThe entire box need to be upgraded.21:43
JonathanDyah21:43
JonathanDwell, 7 year old mobo video card means 7 year old mobo to go with it.21:43
waltmanwell, yeah21:43
JonathanDSO yeah. Build something capable of virtualization?21:43
waltmanI guess.21:45
waltmanAnyway, it's still to early to be worrying about that.21:46
waltmanMostly I use this box for email, irc, web browsing, and LaTeX. It works fine for that.21:47
