Trying to read the comment about machine - is that really 2 quad-core Xeons?
Yes, it has 8 cores total. .....I knew it would be faster with more cores. Two years old and it's already obsolete.
Sounds similar to one I got in December 2008:
Dell Precision Workstation T7400 - 64bit Two Quad Core Intel Xeon Processors X5482 (3.20GHz,2X6M L2,1600) 16GB, DDR2 SDRAM FBD Memory, ECC (4 DIMMS) C6 All SATA drives, RAID 0 Two 160GB SATA 3.0Gb/s,7200 RPM Hard Drives with 8MB DataBurst Cache 512MB PCIe x16 nVidia Quadro FX3700, Dual Monitor DVI Capable Two Dell 24 inch UltraSharp 2408WFP Widescreen Monitors
Still quite fast and powerful,
Gee, my fastest machine is a 3400+ (1.8GHz) Sempron. Faster in 64-bit mode than in 32-bit, but nothing your guys' machines. If I add together all 5 of the different machines here, I get 6 cores. Does that count? You guys have bigger hardware budget than I!
but like most machines, they become outdated within six months.
By the time you can actually BUY a machine, it's already outdated. So long as it meets your needs, it's not obsolete. -- David gnome@hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community
