New development box

I'm using a P4, 1Ghz, 512 MB RAM for development and testing. Not a bad system, and I can run Windows XP just fine. The problem is that I'm having trouble running VMware properly, and I certainly can't run Vista to test. So I was using my wife's laptop (A 2GB RAM dual core system) to test my applications. After a long time of agony and despair I finally gave in. It was time to put my old desktop to rest and buy a new system.

The new system looks like this:

  • Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 (S775, 2x2.4GHz, 4MB, 1066MHz FSB, Boxed)
  • Asus P5N-E SLI, nForce 650i (ATX, PCI-e, Sound, LAN, SATA II, RAID, 1394)
  • Kingston 2GB DDR2 PC6400 800MHz CL5 HyperX Dual Channel Kit
  • WD 74GB SATA 10000RPM 16MB Raptor
  • XFX Geforce 8600 GTS 256MB DDR3

That should be enough for a long time (I hope). Now, the waiting game begins till the system arrives at my doorstep.
