-sigh- lol.
Go with hef's suggestion.
Go with hef's suggestion.
well i picked out everything i wanted for under 1.5, whats funny about that ?
Okay let me clear this up right now.
A. There is little to NO home based desktop mother board that can support 100GB of RAM. Check every site for mother boards and you will not find a single one that supports that amount of RAM. Even the SkullTrail Mobo's which did support 2 physical CPU's can only support 16GB. So unless you have some real fine connections to get a Data Server Mother Board, you can not get no 100GB supported on a desktop motherboard. Even the Server Mother boards for sale on NewEgg can only support 64 GB at most.
B. There is no reason to run VM with games. Let me tell you why. You can't do both at the same time!
Meaning that if you are in game, Windows will be focused there and you will be controlling the game, as soon as you try to even touch the VM system, the game will not be the focus and it will minimize and you will not be playing the game anymore. Before you even ask, no there is no way around this and no way to work with both at the same time from the same machine. So what Peter.Cort suggested is the best thing to do cause there is no way possible with Windows to run both at the same time, unless you are running games from within the VM itself.
C. You will need at least Vista Ultimate or Windows 7 Professional or above if you do plan on using 2 physical CPU's as XP does not have support for it. At all. The lower version of Vista do no and same with Windows 7.
D. To get 2 CPU's onboard you will NOT be able to use your current CPU as all Dual CPU mother boards run with the Xeon Processor. You can not use anything but that processor.
I hope you can now try to set some more resonible goals as the ones you are trying to reach are impossible for what you are working with.
4. I didnt not say i wanted to use my current CPU, i actually said i wanted to run 2 Xeons so I dont know why you said this ?
I am also curious if you think buying another processor that is the same model and GHz as mine or buying 2 new ones that would be a step up. ( i am currently running intel duel-core 2.40GHz)
