Is BI SMP aware? Asking because we're looking at off lease servers -- the model we like has two gold 6130 Xeons (Skylake).

Any reason to use windows 11 over windows 10? I've heard some negatives on Windows 11 because of spyware/bloatware .......

There are forum members who use Xeon's so hopefully one of them can answer this.

Any additional information about the spyware/bloatware that comes built into Window 11???? Or is that just FUD?

Using Duckduckgo, search on:

despyware windows 11
debloating windows 11

OK, looks like you need to go back to Windows XP to get your safety.

And IE that may actually work with all the underdeveloped firmware still being spit out by the camera vendors these days. I believe you can max it out to IE11 with a 64 bit setup?

Been thinking about XP Pro w/SP3 and VMware Player for that purpose alone since recently seeing a pretty cool YT video about it.

Otherwise, running Intel and Nvidea may be simpler than a pair of Skylakes. Not sure how BI would differentiate between Intels while actually having a specific listing for Nvidea which we know can be simultaneously used separately from an Intel iCore, though we're talking GPU, not CPU there.

Interesting question.
