@Pompous Git

If I could afford to replace my current machine with a grunty i7 it would run Mint as the primary OS and all my Win7 stuff in a VM.

Christmas is coming up. Get the Old Git a used ThinkPad X220 i7 (look for a i7-2640M CPU @ 2.80GHz 2 core 4 thread) from fleabay. Replace HD with a SSD. Add plenty of memory (it will take 2x8GB) so VMs can be allocated a useful amount to stay responsive.

Result: One Happy Git
