Hi Michael,

I am happy to see that you found time to do it.  Even if this is not
yet useful for other users, this could be helpful for you to keep
things separated and would help you to redo your system on another
computer ;)

Your computer module is good.

If you don't have options, you can just write a configuration such as
the default /etc/nixos/configuration.nix which only contains option
definitions.

see (1).

This is the same of the i7, so you can add 8 because each core is
multi-threaded.

see (1)

(1) This kind of special things make me happy.  Because new user may
benefit from your investigations without the need to know how to patch
that them-self.

I hope, this would be used sooner or later by other NixOS users.

Thank you for your contribution in this great plan to conquer world's
computers. ;)
