Hi all, I realize there are a swell of post just like this one but I was hoping you would consider mine nonetheless...please.
I am about to purchase a new workstation, and have decided to go with DELL as I have in the past. I certainly realize that they are not popular on this forum, but I have been thrilled with the products and service they have provided in the past.
I have configured a DELL XPS 710 as follows:
Intel Core2 Duo E6700
2GB DDR2 667Mhz Memory
256MB PCIe x16 NVIDIA GeForce 7900GS Dual DVI
Dell 2407 UltraSharp
320GB SATA (System + Docs etc)
500GB SATA (Media Files)
Windows VISTA Home Premium
16X Max DVD-ROM
16X DVD+/-RW Dual Layer
Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic
I hope to edit a large HD project in the coming months, and am wondering if this system will cope well with it. My other thoughts are whether to go for a 4GB RAM and/or a 750GB Media hard drive over the 500GB. The system has 4 drive trays so I could always add another...
I managed all this for $4480.00AUS ($3535.81US).
Any advice/ideas would be so greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
