It really depends on what your doing. I edit a lot of television shows so a Quad with a minimum of 12 gig is not to bad. It can be done with a dual core and four gigs if you got loads of time, but anything less that a quad is no fun. Exactly. My OpenSuse Laptop sitting next to me, (a very reliable Inspiron originally sold with Win XP home) is now running 3 time the memory DELL said it would run, A much bigger and faster hard drive, and most days is has at least one and occasionally 3 VMs running (I work on TCP apps).
My main desktop machine is the same, sort of setup. Boatload of memory and quad cor processor.
I use to do this type of work with a room full of computers. I don't miss them.
I removed the mechanical hard drive from my poor old dual core laptop and replaced it with an SSD. I only use it when we travel for e-mail and general browsing. Never for a production machine. Best upgrade I ever did to it. Boots in seconds. Programs load almost before you through clicking on them. -- A cat is a puzzle with no solution. Cats are tiny little women in fur coats.
