http://live.pirillo.com/ – Which is preferable? One machine that runs a lot of virtual machines for separate tasks? Or would you rather have more than one machine, each maybe dedicated to specific purposes?

SC_Thor feels that it is better to run one good system, and use Virtual Machines to run separate tasks. Datalore, however, feels it is better to use multiple machines for resource-intensive work, and dedicate each machine to a specific task.

Personally, I can see both sides of it. My Mac mini is only used for the live stream. Running CamTwist for the stream is very intensive on resources, so the mini is never used for anything else. No way I’d ever try to run the stream through my regular work machine.

What do you think? Is it better to run one machine… or several? Let me hear from you!
