Re: New PC recommendations

2006-03-12 by wwodets

Gary-

I've just replaced my second locally-built computer with a Dell 670 
work station.  This is a 4 gig memory, SCSI RAID 1 system with two 300 
gig drives and two of the XEON 3.0 gig processors.  It is a delight to 
work with and cuts over an hour off a typical workday (compared to my 
last dual-XEON 1.0 gig computer).  The computer was delivered in 
perfect condition with no installed software other than the operating 
system and has a three-year on-site, next-day service contract 
included.  I can't recommend it highly enough, particularly if 
reliability and low maintenance is high on your list.  I'm sure there 
are faster processsors, etc. but there are faster cars than the one I 
drive too.
