New Sandy Bridge Workstation | Matt Hanson

http://www.matthanson.ca/2011/05/new-sandy-bridge-workstation

May 9, 2011. New Sandy Bridge Workstation. A couple of weeks ago I finally purchased all of the components I needed to upgrade my main computer. My old one from a couple of years ago (AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600 processor, 4 GB of RAM, 7200 RPM HDD) wasn’t bad for some simple programming or other “basic” tasks, but it was lagging behind when trying to run multiple virtual machines. Intel Core i7-2600K processor. 34 GHz, 4 cores, 8 threads). ASUS P8P67 Deluxe motherboard. Corsair 16 GB RAM. OCZ Vertex 3 SSD.

http://www.matthanson.ca/2010/07/free-professional-tools-for-startups

July 6, 2010. Free Professional Tools for Startups. I’ve been thinking for a while now about writing about some really good. Tools for developers just starting out and micro ISVs, as well as students. The truth is, there are some very decent tools out there. You just have to sift through the pile of costly alternatives. Hopefully, it’ll be a little easier if some of the items are pointed out for you. I’ll keep adding to this list as I find, use, and enjoy more tools. Click here to cancel reply.

http://www.matthanson.ca/2012/04/sql-server-2012-unattended-installation

April 29, 2012. SQL Server 2012 Unattended Installation. Automating installations is a good thing. It means that the installations are consistent across multiple installations, there’s (by necessity) documentation for later reference of what and how something was installed, and automatic, unattended installations scale. Well If you’re doing it more than once, you should be automating it. There are two ways to specify installation parameters for an unattended install of SQL Server 2012:. You have a few di...
