New Computer Recomendations

[GZO]

I am ordering a new workstation.

Any recomendations?

Ram?....Graphics Card?...Processor?

We already have Dell 27" Ultra Sharp screens covered.

Dell Percision T7500 Workstation

- Win-7 Pro w/ XP Mode Media, 64-bit OS
- Quad Core Xeon E5620, 2.4Ghz, 12M, L3, 5.86GT/s, turbo
(best balanced Quad Core that has turbo to 3.33Ghz)
- Office Pro 2010
- 12Gb DDR3 RDIMM 1333Mhz, ECC (6 DIMMS)
-2.5GB nVidia Quadro 5000, Dual Mon, 2DP, & 1 DVI
- HDD-1 1-TB SATA 3.0Gb/s, 7200 RPM w/ 32Mb databurst cache
- HDD-2 250Gb SATA 3.0Gb/s, w/ NCQ and 8Mb databurst cache
(scratch space for our FEA ANSYS on the same machine + Virtual RAM space put here)
- DVD +/- RW 16X
- System recover DVD
- System recovery media (drivers)
- Dell MS111 USB mouse
- Dell QuietKey Keyboard

We have two 26 LCD monitors per workstation already.

This is an out the door quote with no corporate discount applied ... $5,679. Depending on your discount, the price for my company is $4,997.52

This may be a beast of a system for CoCreate (Creo). But our facility runs Catia, UGNX, ANSYS, SolidWorks, COSMOS/M, Maxwell, and Mentor Graphics along with a PLM software called TeamCenter that can store all of this workstation data. Our typical file sizes are over 100Mb for completed assemblies.

Compared to 5 years ago, a workstation of this power was well over $12,000.
