My last optimization run took 3 days before it crashed. Jim, here in 2018, I was hoping to get your opinion on an idea i have--I can buy a 2010 (mid yr) - Apple Mac Pro with 2 INtel Xeon processors with 32 GB Ram for around $700-800 ... I would either run bootcamp (which I have done on my mac mini with 100% success--it was in fact my best Windows PC) -- or simply install Windows on it. The reason I am thinking of this is that the Apple hardware is much more stable, and since it appears NT/OT can not take advantage of multi-threading directly, and its the OS that is providing that - I don't need to spend extra $ just to get the latest processor packages-since the HD and memory seem to be the real bottlenecks. I would install a SSD drive on this-and it would be a dedicated NT box. IS this viable? are there better alternatives in your opinion. |
