Hiya guys/girls
im hoping to get some guidance on the specification of the development machines we have on option to recommend my boss to purchase.
we currently have 3.0Ghz Xeon dell boxes with 2 gigs of ram, which are quite long in the tooth now which makes developing a pain (build times are around 5 mins and depolying takes forever!).
the requirements are quite short, they are:
- machines must be redhat compatable.
- must be from dell (yea i know! but we have some kind of arrangement)
- must make developement with
jboss, netbeans and any near future
JEE technology seem super fast
the link to the machines we are looking at are
here so far ive looked at an 3.0Ghz octocore T7400 Nseries with 8 gigs of ram but can one justify a machine like that for JEE development? would it be enough to have just a really fast single quad core mahine with just 4 gigs?
im abit lost atm, cant really justify any of the options as i could also un-justify them (does that make sense?)
so can anyone help me out here, maybe a push in the right direction?
thanks guys!
