cromertech Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 AMD Athlon 64 X2 2.26Ghz 2 gig ram and Vista business built by previous technician 14" Widescreen monitor only though. Hopefully will be upgraded this year if I can persuade them that I need something more powerful
westleya Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Self-build Celeron 336, 1GB RAM, 80 + 20GB HD, FX5500 Video, two monitors. Anything more powerful is totally pointless for network admin. I'd rather spend the money on resources for students.

Guest Guest Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Hand built... i wish i could build my own. Got a E8400 with 4GB ram, seperate GFX card... but its just sooooo slow. Im not surew what Stone do to their computers but they are never as fast as they should be. My E6750 with 2GB ram is far far faster and never suffers from hangs and crashes like my work one does.
Butuz Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 At the moment just got a RM Expert 3030 Core 2 Quad Q9400 @ 2.66Ghz with 4GB RAM and A WD Raptor 36Gb 10krpm Disk. Performance is sprightly! Just need to upgrade the fiber here to gigabit now for ultimate performance! Also just realised that it has dual monitors built in so will be setting up another 19" widescreen later to make 2 x 19" widescreens! Butuz
sidewinder Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Just need to upgrade the fiber here to gigabit now for ultimate performance! You dont have gigabit fibre? At all?
Butuz Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 You dont have gigabit fibre? At all? Of course but not to my office!
