nHibernate performance concerns
I have been investigating nHibernate recently. I am writing some web service interfaces to our ERP product and I would like some painless way of talking to the database.
VMware Server
So I bought myself a new server recently, a beautiful new Dell Poweredge 2900 with 2GB of RAM and two 160GB SATA drives. The machine is a beast, I can put 8 drives in (SATA or SCSI) and I have 12 slots for the memory (FB-DIMMs), and it is dual processor capable. I only have a single Xeon 5060 in there at the moment but as soon as the prices for the Woodcrests come down I'll be buying a pair! To get a Woodcrest it was almost $600 more, which considering I only paid $1900 for the whole thing was quite the premium. But I digress, the server is not the main point of my story.
Windows Live Writer
So I had to try it, the new beta of Windows Live Writer. A desktop blogging tool. I do prefer desktop apps over web apps.
