Hey everyone, I'm new to these forums so I thought I'd just say hello to you guys first!
I currently have a decent mid-upper range computer:
Intel E6750 2.66GhZ C2D
4gig Ram
8800GTS 512
700W OCZ
As of now I have a 250GB hard drive, and I am going to start the dive into computer programming. Since Linux is widely considered the best programmers OS, i wanted to install that, while keeping my Windows Vista OS.
Since two OS's would somewhat cram my harddrive, I was wondering if I would be able to install a second hard drive and just put Linux on there. If I could do this, would I also be able to switch back and forth?
-Thanks for the help.
Also, should I look at upgrading my CPU/Ram for programming at all?
