Any suggestions about a new computer?
Minor power drop on Saturday. Windows came right back to regular
screen. Although plugged thru two spike protectors power supply was kaput on
Sunday morning. Couldn't check out computers online so I opened up B&H
Winter 2011 catalog and picked a HP computer for $1200+. On the way to VA
today stopped at Best Buys, HH Gregg. they had the upgrade of the picked
computer for $899.00. On B&H web site they had the upgrade for $879.00
I'm surprised the i7quad core (2600S vesion) goes at only 2.8 vs 2.66 Ghz
of my old machine
The system is powered by a quad-core 2.8GHz Intel Core i7-2600S CPU, which can be overclocked to 3.8GHz via
Turbo Boost. It boasts 8GB of RAM and
a 1TB 7200rpm hard drive. The AMD
Radeon HD 6570 GPU features 1GB of
dedicated memory, giving you enough visual horsepower to drive the latest 3D
computer games. Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) is the installed operating system.
No one seems to be using Nvidia graphic boards. Dell had a ATI Radeon HD
6770 graphics in one of their computers.
