OT doesn’t use a lot of RAM, nor does it do a lot of disk IO or take up a lot of disk space. Most modern computers support two screens - and if not you can buy a second-screen usb dongle for about $80. OT is not like gaming or watching movies or doing photoshop so graphics card doesn’t matter much. I’d suggest an i7 for speedier calcs. An SSD drive is not essential but boots windows faster. Maybe 256G or so. HOWever, if you want to run multiple instances at once via VMware, then more ram and a very good processor are important. I have provision for that on my Dell precision, with 32G RAM and a Xeon chip - but it costs in the $3k-$4k range. | |
