Hi Avon,

You also might find that it takes a bit to spin up the cpu's freq to 2.xghz.
You'll soon see if the system can handle it when you put it into place.

The main thing you need is a cpu with vt-x support (Most intel cpu's have
that, except the low end guys... Heck even I5's have it). Then you need at
least 8gb of ram (It'll be tight), but 16 is better. Then at least a 500gb
SSD for the speed. I'd then use a 1tb+ spinning rust to store the backup's
onto.

Do you have a spare PC you could use to test on?
