New box Go fast

[Happy]

(I hate when some nerd blerbs on about his/her desk-top techno hardware, so at the risk of violating a core value...)

Speed equals saved time equals more clients equals more profit.

Being in a high tech college town customers appreciate hi tech applications

They improve QC in the office and push paper thru the pipeline faster, less prone to errors.

Costs dramatically decline the fewer hands that touch paper.

You get the pix.

OK, I sucked it in and bot a Quad Dell running Win xp.

I got 13 USB2 ports powered directly off the machine

I use 4 monitors (3 for me one for the customer - we only do eyeball to eyeball returns. in 20 yrs I tried it all this works best for my personality and my customers' needs.)

The point is that this machine which is essentially a gamers box does the job. It taxes 6 seconds for a ATX to load even th4e most complex customer files. Yes, I timed it.

WE'RE U'GRADING all OFFICE MACHINES NEXT WEEK. LESSER MACHINES, BUT WE CANNOT GET SUCKED DOWN THE BLACK HOLE OF A SLOW SEASON DUE TO SLOW MACHINES/ POOR PROCESES AGAIN.

That's my story and I'm stickin to it...

My roommate (the tech geek) put 2 gigs of RAM in my computer last week. Up from 512MB. It faster. Me happy.

I like speed too!!

In January, I sprung for a new Dell XPS 720, quad core, Win XP, 3GB Ram, 500GB Raid 0 Hard Drives and dual 21" flat screen LCD monitors.

ATX loads in 6 seconds for me to - including typing in my password to enter software.

My old machine was a home built (2001) AMD XP2100, 512Mb Ram, 80GB Raid 0 Hards drives and CRT 21" monitor. It is my back-up machine now. ATX takes about 20 seconds to load.

Maybe my last new computer. I'm gettin' old.
