Right I was running 2 very beefy machines manually in a dedicated

VM images, and multiple concurrent tests then it would need to be a
bit more robust than what I was using. So I was planning to ask for
4 multi-core machines (need to do some research on CPU capacity) and
3-4 GB RAM each. I'll include that we could get by with just 2
machines for a time while we work out the automation/sharing issues.
I sent a note asking for some clarification on what they are looking
for in a proposal and an example (if available). I'd like for
whatever we request to be in line with most of their other systems
in terms of OS level/version, VM software, etc... so that we can
avoid the "one off" issue they list while still getting a system
that can support our testing needs.
What happened to the AMD systems which were heating up my apartment
last year? 2 4x (dual core) 16g machines with nice RAID cards, etc... ?
