Comment Re:Dell e 6400 (Score 1) 291

I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 with nine cell battery. I bought it about 3 years ago. Sometime I use battery, but when I do not use it, I put the battery on my desk (I do not leave it in laptop). I charge it ever fully: from 0% to 100%. Today my device can supply my laptop for 2 hours. Initially for 4 hours. Two months ago, a popup appears to remember to change it with a new one. I decided to waiting.

Comment Power server one (Score 1) 272

Xeon or AMD equivalent processors are best because they have a lot of second and third level cache. Two gigabyte network card are required, but 4 are suggested. One network interface for traffic and the other one for migration or administation. Hard discs faster as you can permit (money question): SCSI, RAID configuration. Memory depends on how many virtual machine you are going to handle (operating system, jobs to carry out, ...). You have to remember you have to attribute some memory to host operating system. If you plan to use VMware ESX (or free version ESXi), you have to chose a compatible server, because drivers cannot be available for a generic own build server.
