Lads I have a bit of a dilemna
I have recently started a overhaul of my machines
I had a Phenom for gaming and a WHS for storing and serving my home but....
since upgrading to a Phenom II I now have 3 machines-
PhenomII, Phenom(Mobo Takes Upto PhenomII) and my WHS Sempron(Mobo Takes upto 6000+)
Ive thought about a few scenarios
I could use the Phenom as a Virtual machine and just mess around with different OS's- but I would need to upgrade the RAM quite a bit as when I got the Phenom II I downgraded to 2 gig
I could also get rid of the Sempron and make the Phenom my Home Server which may even be a bit overkill as WHS runs most things really
I could also get rid of the Phenom and get a nicer case for my server as its in a total mincer cheapie
I guess this is pretty much aimed at guys who have a few machines or those who chose against it
If I keep the phenom I dont know whether it would be underutilised and as I would want to connect to it directly- unless I can do it on a lappy as my Main Rig is quite a noisy beast
This said Im also in a cupboard under the stairs like Harry Potter so things can be much louder due to this
I dont even know if this is in the correct place but the hardware forums are lively and I suppose it whether I should keep the hardware
Thanks for looking guys
