Dell OptiPlex 745 - PC Mag

Dell-OptiPlex-745.jpg

A review of Dell's OptiPlex 745 business desktop PC has been posted over on PC Magazine. 'The 745's Core 2 Duo processor, Radeon X1300 graphics, fast DDR2-667 memory, and speedy 10,000-rpm drive together achieved commendable SYSmark 2004 SE benchmark-test results: an excellent score of 364 on the Internet Content Creation test and a good score of 260 on the Office Productivity test. The system wins both categories when compared with other business systems in this space, so it's the one to shoot for whether you're in a time-sensitive business or just have demanding computing needs and really want to keep the system for more than a couple of years.

It comes out ahead of the Lenovo ThinkCentre A60 on both performance and form factor (though the A60's tower case gives you more room for upgrades), and though it's considerably more expensive than the HP Compaq dx2200 Business System, it also outperforms the dx2200's slower, single-core Pentium 4 processor and hard drive. The OptiPlex 745's closest competitor, the Gateway E-6610D SB, has a tower's expandability, but is a smidge more expensive because of its nVidia Quadro workstation-class graphics card and SCSI hard drive.'
