Computer i7 2700 BI Question

[botics]

I have a i7-2700K @ 3.5GHz with a 1TB SSD and 16gigs RAM 1333Mhz.

Anyone running a similar processor or has? Looking for info to see if it worth the time to setup BI on.

Thanks

It is okay for BI. I'm not sure it can do hardware acceleration for resolutions higher than 1920x1080. I wouldn't necessarily buy one today though unless it was a really great deal. Each newer generation beings a small performance and efficiency gain, and the second generation is about 7-8 years old now!

I know.... I just saw windows 95 is 30 years old today - Totally wrong! Thanks @TonyR

Maybe I’ll use for testing...

Well, since you have it there is zero cost except your time to try it. Even that isn't a write-off if you learn anything along the way.

That's a negative....Windows 95 was introduced on August 24, 1995. It's the World Wide Web that's 30 today.

It would be fine for small to medium sized setup, i think. if it does the job, use it!
main difference is the cost in electricity to run that CPU compared to more modern ones...

we had Sir Tim Berners Lee in the office a while back. I can't remember what we were trying to show him on the big touch screen...

Thanks for sharing.
Does this jog your memory?.....Lower right on screen, it says on first line "Showing cities with bits (or hits?)/sec of..." and below that "0 to 1,938,682"

heehee. hi rez, indeed. that's our global traffic map display. we overlay the data onto Google maps to impress visitors. hits/bits per second per pop, attack traffic, that sort of stuff... here's the current view of our 'spikey globey' thing showing real-time attack traffic on global scale. Oh how things have changed in 30 years...

Tell me about it...tell my aching back, feet and knees!
