Advanced computer users tend to look in to all aspects of computing; however even for computer beginners a Dell workstation can be a beneficial choice.
The large companies are continually competing for your custom.
Dell have produced workstations that can suit those on a tighter budget. Companies like IBM normally charge around $6000 dollars, which is around £3200.
You can pick up a decent workstation for a lot cheaper with the right information. Workstations can make video editing and other tasks run much smoother than a standard desktop. They normally throw in the best graphics cards as part of the price also.
Lets take a look at a Dell workstation so I can demonstrate the above.
The above Dell workstation would set you back around $700; this is a low price tag when you look at what other companies would charge for a solid workstation.
The typical specification would be a P4 2.8 GHZ with 1MB/800, 512 MB of DDR 400 MHZ. The memory you will get in this type of workstation would be the new release of DDR resulting in breath taking speeds.
40 GIG hard drive at 10 000 rpm, resulting in immense hard drive speed.
If you look at the above specification, this is a power horse, you could throw in a top end graphic card, and use this as your ultimate editing machine. You could even connect multiple computers to this workstation.
