My Test Rig

This is the computer I test my distros on since it has the most RAM and fastest processor of the computers I own.  I figure this is important as I will not be installing the distros, they will be either run Live or installed into Virtualbox.

New:  Custom Built Computer

Motherboard: TBA

RAM:  6 GB

CPU:  Intel Dual Core 1.86 GHz

Old:  Custom Built Computer

Motherboard:  Asus P4P800-E Deluxe

RAM:  2 GB

CPU:  Intel Pentium 4 – 3 Ghz 800 Hz FSB 1 MB L2 Cache

I think that’s all the relevant info.  Here’s other misc info:

DVD-ROM, DVD+/-R, 1 120GB HD, 2 500 GB HD, 1 external 120 GB HD

    Nice rig man, but the P4 lets it down. Why not install distros on it directly rather than in VM ?
    nice blog by the way
