Dell Precision Workstation 390 Review
Charlie White of Digital Video Editing.com has posted a "hands-on" review of the Dell Precision Workstation 390. 'For this Day-Zero review (meaning this article is being released at 7AM Central Time on July 27, 2006, the moment the press embargo is lifted on the Intel Core 2 line of processors) Dell sent us a Precision 390 Workstation with the top-of-the-line Intel Core 2 Extreme processor on board running at 2.93GHz with a 1066MHz front-side bus and 4MB L2 cache.
Our test machine ($3893) came fully tricked out with 2GB of DDR2 533MHz RAM, configured as four 512MB sticks, a workstation-class NVIDIA PCIe Quadro FX 3500 graphics card, and an 80GB SATAII 7200RPM system drive. Along for the ride on the motherboard are integrated audio and network interface cards, and then there's a little high-tech jewel, a Raid-0 array with two tiny one-inch 146GB SAS hard drives running at 15,000 RPM, a brand new piece of technology which gave us remarkable speed test results. More on that later.'
