Hello,
I can't make my mind up and hope you can help, I'm consolidating and having a case built that houses 2 x EATX motherboards and 30 disks.
I have a dual xeon motherboard (eight cores) with 24GB RAM and three eight port SATA cards and a quad core motherboard with a HD6970.
The requirements I have:
I want to run ZFS with good performance
I have a bunch of PC games on Steam
But my main day-to-day OS is Snow Leopard, so I will find a way to get that installed.
So basically I have two motherboards but I want to run 3 OS'es.
I was originally just going to do a straight install of Solaris on the Xeon board and Win7/Mac install on the quad core.
But perhaps there is a better way, virtualisation maybe?
I would prefer not to dual boot or bootcamp.
Thanks for looking.
