Personal Workstatons
For the past couple of days, I have been speeding around the ‘Internet tubes’ using a honkin’, wicked-fast HP xw8600.
This is a dual quad-core system with gobs of RAM, dual high-end video cards, fast hard drives, etc, etc. The specs below speak for themselves.
I have just received from HP what I would call the Rolls-Royce of personal workstations, in a top-of-the-line configuration as well!
Here is the updated configuration we will be giving away:
I plan on adding the following to this already great goodie package:
I am also thinking of possibly adding a (consumer-class) 20” LCD monitor to this package, with several games thrown in.
Let me thank HP for increasing the computing power of this system from a Core 2 Dual to a Core 2 Quad.
Let’s go!
While I work out the details of how I want this to go, I would like to announce that I have been able to secure a sponsorship tat will allow me to give away one HP xw4600 Personal Workstation after a 30-day contest period.
I am completely stoked at this opportunity, and I wish all potential contestants success.
Workstations in general, and HP workstations in particular, were introduced to me as a viable alternative to the fully configured desktop computer system.
Pursuant to that, I received a couple of HP workstations to review. My review of the xw4600 follows below. The xw6600, which shares the same design and performance philosophies; as a result, that review will focus on the performance scenarios run by SmallBizVista.com.
Yesterday, I was at the HP facility in Fort Collins, Colorado, where I was briefed on HP's offerings in the workstation space.
I went in to see what the offerings were with a view to finding out more information about the systems, and to see if they would pass muster, and become Logikworx's recommended line of workstations, replacing our current line.
In a nutshell, I came away impressed.
