Dell targets video and 3D markets with a robust, high-end workstation

摘要

Dell computers have long been dependable solutions for home and office computing. But in the world of high-end workstation hardware, Dell is not the first name that springs to mind. To remedy that, Dell's new line of Precision PCs targets the high-end user. The Precision 650 incorporates top-class components into a PC billed as a digital media workhorse. A decked-out Precision 650 can be an all-around answer to a studio that needs highly functional and adaptive systems to carry out a wide range of demanding chores. I asked Dell to customize a Precision 650 to fit a budget of $6000, including a high-end display. Built around dual Intel Xeon Pentium 4 CPUs, this Dell housed a 120GB 7200 RPM hard drive, DVD + RW and DVD drives, and 2GB of high-quality DDR RAM, as well as an Nvidia Quadro FX1000 graphics card. And it packs a heck of a punch.
