[quote][i]Originally posted by Dom[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by ed[/i] I don't know what defines impressive, but the CPU's, GPU's and RAM are more than we can spec from Dell for a workstation (don't look anywhere else at work blah blah blah). Though a non-upgradable workstation? They must have done their market research to decide that's a good idea. Saying that though, we tend to upgrade people's workstations when they're new because Dell charge a fortune for RAM and SSDs, after that they get used for 2-3 years and then replaced - maybe that's how people do things these days?[/quote] No idea if Dell sell or support 2133 DDR3 but you can purchase the W9000 card from Dell and Dell/HP both offer workstations with 16 core Xeons (granted it's via dual socket) but the 12 core Xeon is part of the new Ivy Bridge line-up that is getting released Q3 this year anyway. And Apple have truly shot themselves in the foot with the lack of PCI-E expansion slot(s) as it rules out a lot of the pro audio/video crowd, the ones really pedalling Mac Pro's, who need them for their gear (no doubt Magma and Sonnet will do really well out of this). You're also stuck with AMD and OCL :0 There appears to be more disadvantages to it than advantages and it seems either Apple are attempting to kill off the MP range, let's be honest this is more of a souped-up Mac Mini than a workstation system, or they've well and truly lost their way. I suspect there will be a lot more people looking into hackintosh's though. [/quote]
