Hi list,
My winter project this year is to rebuild my home network. I'm upgrading to
a WS2003 domain from Windows 2000 (or I may venture into 2008 depending on
when that comes out). I'm going to make use of virtualization as much as
possible and anticipate having five or six VMs. I'm not a big fan of 64 bit
OSes, so I want to run all 32 bit ones. When I build the machine that will
host all the virtual machines, I'll want to get as much processing power as
I can reasonably afford. It seems, however, that all the hardcore
processors these days are 64 bit. Will this matter? Will I just be wasting
money buying a 64 bit processor for all 32 bit OSes? Aside from the "you
should run 64 bit OSes" responses, any thoughts on this?
Thanks
