MBP: dual vs quad core

[BlueSharp]

My MBP is the 13" dual core with 8GB and 256 SSD, runs Linux VM's fine and can push most apps without problem.

I have a Retina 3.4 i7 iMac, 1Tb SSD, 32gb ram, tried to build a Solaris Cluster, shared storage on another VM, made the machine unusable, so don't think SSD's are the be all, same set up is flying on a what, 6 year old T5220 in the shed/data centre....

That's SPARC over x86 probably tho, the main reason Linux on X86 is utter pants.....
