pedrocasilva Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I am ordering my system on Monday so can you recommend a workstation maker that I should go to? im not going to build it myself as my budget is as much as i need, so i would rather have a system with a warrantee. also the gpu i picked is the ATI FireGL V7350 it will hammer the crap out of any content creation package i us with it. but as a gaming card will it hold up and play games like C&c 3/ oblivion /quake wars?I'm not very informed about the brands, but IBM, Dell and HP have fame of having quality in their high-end computers. there could also be some local computer brands who can also assemble servers with guarantee. FireGL V7350 has 16 shader units, whereas the top gaming card has 48, don't worry though, it can run everything that is out now, a year ago or so we hadn't even breached the 16 shader units number.

opentarget Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 my original budget was 3500-4000 euro this cost me nearly twice as much coming in at a mind numbing €5851.00 (before vat....but i get to claim that back lol) it will be delivered by mid of this month (about the 15-20th) because of intel not pushing this new cpus out the door fast enough...its gona be a long wait!
