IT brehs
I am getting a laptop and a desktop... I want to mess with virtualization on both. What is the best bang for the buck as far as Intel processors that support VT-x? Would it pay to get an i5/i7 over the i3 for just doing basic shyt? I mite fukk with some light 3D modeling but the main shyt I would be doing is browsing the web + doing shyt on Microsoft Office in a VM on the laptop, and pretty much straight Microsoft Office shyt on the desktop. I'm gonna run Ubuntu + some kind of VM software on the laptop and Win 7 on the desktop.
Anybody have a good website(s) explaining OSI?
Most likely just 1 or 2 for now, I just want to get my hands dirty and maybe work my way up to a serverUnles you're doing video encoding, i7 is a waste of money. An i5 would be good enough. How many VM's are you planning on running? You'll more than likely run out of RAM and HDD bottlenecks before you gotta worry about CPU utilizations.
i hear you but i'm more interested in numerical/ quantittive computing and for almost all of those roles certs are not required.
I have a lab on it and half of the questions aren't in the required book. I "get" OSI in a practical sense. I can give a generic example but I'm not prepared to write technical paragraphs about it.What don't you understand. Wikipedia will probably give you everything you need to know.
And truth be told, as an engineer, you very rarely have to worry about the OSI model (outside of knowing what it is). Cables at layer 1, switches at layer 2, routers at 3, TCP/UDP at 4, applications (http, ftp, etc) at 7. And honestly as a network guy, anything about layer 3 you'll just throw in the bushes.

The end goal is to have it where there's one server with all the data and every other computer in the house can be a client in Win 7, OSX or Linux. I just want to see if I can do it

OKIf all you'll be running is a few VM's, an i5 is more than enough. Just make sure you plan ahead. Even though you may not want 32GB of ram in your VM server right now, make sure that your motherboard at least supports it and just be a single 8GB stick of DDR3. That was as you want to throw more VM's in there, you'll just have to be an extra 8GB stick whenever you need it.
OK
What about video... one of the computers would be basically purely for streaming Hulu etc. Right now it has Win 7 and some HDMI video card. It works well enough. Would I be able to use its video card as a local machine or does the VM only use the hardware of wherever the VM is operating out of?
