Life

Blug

I have a wonderful new Core 2 Duo system with 4GB of memory at work.

Naturally, my job has just changed and it looks like I'll mostly be working at home from now on.

And my home PC is a three-year-old Pentium 4.

I'm building a development environment under Linux under VMWare right now, and let me say, yes, there really is a difference. Even though the clock speed of my home PC is faster than that of the office machine.

I wonder if they'll let me swap...

1 Don't the new Core chips have native virtualisation support as well ?

If VMware is making use of it then it should see a significant performance increase.

Now you can plug in the Core 2 Extreme as well. Quad CPU anyone ?

2 Vroom! Bit expensive at the moment, though. I'll wait for the non-extreme quaddies.
