Indeed, I still have a working T21 Thinkpad, this is a 2002 laptop, it is just very very slow. I still use a T400 (replace HDD with SSD), that's the 2008 model.

I think Windows is not possible because of the Mali GPU. It will be interesting to see if Linux would be able to boot. If i remember correctly SoFIA was basically an ARM SoC with x86 cores, like what the Dr.Frankenstein did but with a SoC

If you go to the Windows 2012 requirements they list as follow: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn303418.aspx CPU: 1 X 1.4GHz RAM: 512 MB HDD: 32 GB Note this are the minimum! So if you have 4 VMs running concurrently, they would use 4 CPUs of 1.4 GHz, 2GB of RAM, and...

If you are not going to do development in the VMs, seems your main issue will be the RAM. Are you planning to run several of these machines at once? I don't know the Windows RAM/HDD requirements these days, but I bet they require at least 1 GB of RAM. And regarding VT-d, that is used to pass...

It depends on what you would be running in your VMs, usually if you run a lot of VMs concurrently your main issue will be RAM. You can run out of RAM very quickly. If you run one VM at a time, the problem would be storage. It will be better to know what you would be running in the VMs to...

From your claims I think you have use Linux in ARM and X86 in low power devices. I have used Tegra K1, RPI, RPIv2, some iMX, UDOO quad, and a Minnowboard MAX. For day to day usage, I would prefer the Minnowboard MAX anytime. Perhaps is my perception (I don't do ray tracing in my embedded...

Here are mine, I'm on stable so, I don' t have gcc 5 yet. I use a ramdisk in /var/tmp/portage .Also my compilation flags are: -O2 -march=core-avx2 -pipe * sys-devel/gcc Sat Jun 6 11:14:05 2015 >>> sys-devel/gcc-4.8.4 merge time: 12 minutes and 30 seconds. *...

I would prefer Intel LAN also, but you can use the Killer E2200 in Linux. I have a MSI board with the Killer LAN and it works. I use gentoo, so I just enabled the driver in the kernel; I don't know in other distros.

costel78, I use gentoo too and I have a i7-4790K. I can check the compiling times for the top offenders (chromium, firefox) so you can have an idea of the jump in performance (at least for haswell). Just give me a couple of hours to arrive home.

I have used a VDI over a WAN dedicated link (not Internet connection) and the lag is horrible. I don't think employees would accept the Internet lag.

I don't think you really understand the relation of Open Source and Intel here. Perhaps you are too young but Intel was behind the Carrier Grade Linux, a way to introduce Xeon into the datacenter. Also Intel is the very good citizen in the Open Source, it was the top kernel contributor last...

That links talks about rumor of a high end phone with Intel the next year, I don't think it would have Core M. Also they are speculating the use of desktop x86 applications on the phone.

At work: 2 X Xeon E5-2697 v2 Core i7-4700MQ At home: Core i7-4790K Core i5-3437U

Broadwell? http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=intel-broadwell-winlinux&num=1 @VirtualLarry It doesn't matter your LAN QoS configuration at Layer 2 (Ethernet) or Layer 3 (IP); your ISP will override your settings. If I remember correctly you said you are using an AMD card...

I think your problem is more SW related, flash is really really bad; try to use something else to listen to the radio. Even my Linksys E4200 can handle 5 MB/s of torrent data (the router is running transmission) while handle all the network traffic, and that thing has a ~500 MHz MIPS CPU.
