New Mac Pro

It sure is cool when dreams come true. Look what arrived at the Denver office today.

New Mac Pro

Update: Believe it or not, I rebooted my MacBook Pro the same minute I plugged in my Mac Pro. Upon reboot, the MBP choked and I've been looking at a gray screen with a spinning icon for most of the day. I'm soooo glad I have Time Machine. Let's hope I can do a restore on the MBP tomorrow.

Update 2: I was able to successfully build the Mac Pro from my latest MacBook Pro backup on Time Machine. Sweet! Let's see how this works:

$ echo $JAVA_OPTS
-Xms512M -Xmx4096M -XX:PermSize=384m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -Djava.awt.headless=true -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -server

Whoa. 12GB ram. I'll trade you for my 450Mhz G4 tower :)

Congrats, Matt! Sounds like a smoking machine! What video cards did you end up going with?

It looks like a ATI Radeon HD 2600 with support for 2 monitors. I should also mention I didn't buy the machine, it's the standard for Java Developers at LinkedIn. ;-)

Question - with that much RAM can you allocate a full 4GB to a 32bit windows VMWare/Parallels instance? Or does it still stop at 3.25 GB?

I'll likely keep VMWare at 1GB since I'm only using it to run Oracle. I need as much RAM as I can get to run this bad boy.

12GB RAM? Linked in better run fast now! :-)

oh..and I will be watching for openings in LinkedIn lol

Matt, After reading the architecture, is it possible that LinkedIn keeps its cloud non-partitioned just so the developers can continue to get laptops with 12 GB of RAM on them? =)

You bitch :-)

In my best Napolean Dynomite, Luuuckyyy!

So my question for you Matt...

What the heck do you use for an IDE nowadays? I just picked up my first Mac (MacBook Pro) in February and am having a TERRIBLE time with IntelliJ IDEA. There are some critical bugs that haven't been fixed in over 6 months since they were reported.

You can't open more than a few tabs at once:
http://www.jetbrains.net/jira/browse/IDEA-16084

And you can't leave it running for more than a few hours:
http://www.jetbrains.net/jira/browse/IDEADEV-25376

I tried the latest version of Eclipse and the depressing thing is that although its platform integration on Windows is stellar, it looks heinous on OS X. And I never thought I would say this, but it feels slower than IDEA.

I'm downloading Netbeans right now to see if that is any better... I'm that desperate!
