...why do you have to come in with a serious comment? I was doing it to ruin the joke before 18 people posted the same thing.]]>Nov 27th 2007 11:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/27/dell-releases-precision-t5400-and-t7400-powerhouse-workstations/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/27/dell-releases-precision-t5400-and-t7400-powerhouse-workstations/
Forgive me for this noobish question, but why is that? What would cause the Quadro to perform that much poorly?]]>Nov 27th 2007 12:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/27/dell-releases-precision-t5400-and-t7400-powerhouse-workstations/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/27/dell-releases-precision-t5400-and-t7400-powerhouse-workstations/
But, if you don't believe me, by all means go out and buy a Quadro 5700 so you can see for yourself... it's only 4200 bucks.]]>Nov 27th 2007 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/27/dell-releases-precision-t5400-and-t7400-powerhouse-workstations/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/27/dell-releases-precision-t5400-and-t7400-powerhouse-workstations/Nov 28th 2007 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/27/dell-releases-precision-t5400-and-t7400-powerhouse-workstations/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/27/dell-releases-precision-t5400-and-t7400-powerhouse-workstations/

THEN you get into vista where the difference between 64 "home" and 64 "enterprise" is just how much memory you can put into the machine. I'm making up the version names but, that's the core difference. ]]>Nov 27th 2007 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/27/dell-releases-precision-t5400-and-t7400-powerhouse-workstations/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/27/dell-releases-precision-t5400-and-t7400-powerhouse-workstations/Nov 27th 2007 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/27/dell-releases-precision-t5400-and-t7400-powerhouse-workstations/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/27/dell-releases-precision-t5400-and-t7400-powerhouse-workstations/

I'm looking at one of these too with dual quad Xeons. Do you mind telling me the spec and rough, ball park price you paid?

Thanks in advance,

Here's some pictures I just took of the inner beauty of one of these monsters. Note the size of the hard drives vs. the overall unit. The huge fan dedicated for the RAM is also impressive.

Thanks for the pics. I've ordered mine now and it's a real monster. It's fully-loaded(dual X5482s to start;)) and a tad over $4k;). I just hope it'll fit under my desk after looking at those!

Cheers,

what do the Numbers in parenthesis' mean? Are they supposed to connote hard drive RPM speed? Because honest to god, Ive never heard of a 7400 RPM drive, and I seriously cant see a company making one, a measly 200 RPM faster than standard.

What do you all think?]]>Nov 27th 2007 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/27/dell-releases-precision-t5400-and-t7400-powerhouse-workstations/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/27/dell-releases-precision-t5400-and-t7400-powerhouse-workstations/Nov 27th 2007 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/27/dell-releases-precision-t5400-and-t7400-powerhouse-workstations/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/27/dell-releases-precision-t5400-and-t7400-powerhouse-workstations/Nov 27th 2007 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/27/dell-releases-precision-t5400-and-t7400-powerhouse-workstations/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/27/dell-releases-precision-t5400-and-t7400-powerhouse-workstations/Nov 27th 2007 10:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/27/dell-releases-precision-t5400-and-t7400-powerhouse-workstations/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/27/dell-releases-precision-t5400-and-t7400-powerhouse-workstations/Nov 27th 2007 3:02PM
