pritchard9 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 (edited) @Hex: Well, that sure beats a 1.8Ghz Pentium M, 768MB DDR. Yep, you read it right. I'll be getting a new laptop soon though, heading off to uni after the summer. Looking for the right price/performance break (maybe an i3?). Also, I find XFCE more stable than OpenBox.. I had a few problems in OpenBox that haven't arisen since switching to XFCE. Edited March 16, 2010 by pritchard9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h3%5kr3w Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 I read somewhere if the i7 is too high really try for an i5 cause the price/performance factor is awesome, but i dunno.. In a laptop my personal opinion is unless your running it as a desktop replacement only then I would go for the i5. My AMD x2 (ql60) in my laptop kicks just fine with most things including virtual box, especially if your doing stuff like learning server08 or something (that's really what I bought it for. well that and learning M$ SQL). For a desktop unless your doing some hardcore video editing or desktop publishing, a phenom II x4 would suffice absolutely fine for the cheap. I haven't really done much with openbox before. Tried a few times, but considering I was trying to configure it from the ground up I really didn't get much further than a really crappy looking and feeling (but uber light weight) desktop. Maybe Dr0p will do a tutorial some time :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) I'm learning Server 2K8 by running it on a VM at home and then RDPing into it remotely over an ssh tunnel. It might not be the fastest way to go about it, but it works for me. :P Edited March 17, 2010 by Charles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
