Hi, I am buying Dell T5500 workstation from Dell with 500 GB HDD. They want extra $250.00 if I select Raid-1 which requires only one extra 500 GB HDD because that motherboard has built in Raid Controller if I am correct. In the quote they sent me it says following : “ Integrated Intel®...

Ok, I got it. Thank You

I thought that high profile cards take up 2 or more slots & require more resources. Still learning.

That is true but for several reasons I decided to go for Low Profile card designed just for my applications.

Depends. Technical analyst use charting applications. Something like following but drawn by a special application: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=%5EDJI&t=6m&l=off&z=l&q=c&p=&a=r14%2Css%2Cm26-12-9&c=

Thanks. That makes sense now.

Great. Thanks

The key to my setup is to get as much info ( which in my case is the number of price bars ) as possible on each chart. Using 30 inch monitor & 3 charts would divide the horizontal resolution in third, which means I have only 2560/3 = 853 Resolution on ecah chart compared to 1920 on a 24 inch...

mfenn, I am little confused about having 3 PCIe x16 slots & don't understand the following description. Are you sure this motherboard will accomodate three FirePro 2460 cards ? Here there is no return & no exchange policy so if I made a mistake, I loose the motherboard. Can you please...

How about another fan? Dell XPS 8300 that I have now has a cooling system on top of cpu & another extra fan.

I am keeping wall mount option open too. Ergotron stands, I will have to import & just the shiping would kill me & add 50% customs duty on that. So stand option is out.

I am limited to regular Dell ( U2412M, 24 inch, 1920x1200 ) monitors because of my location. Of course I will need stands but again only 2 companies are selling & only to corporations with a large order, so I will start out with 8 monitors & see how they would fit on a desk & then have a desk...

HD 6870 is cheaper. But for my applications three, ATI FirePro 2460 is a better choice because I don't do games. It consumes only 17 - 20 watts max each. Has single slot footprint & no fan. Even if I go with premium parts, my systems should not cost more than $2000.00 without monitors.

Only when it gets above 85 degrees.

RAM being cheap, can I go for 12 GB or does it have to be either 8 GB or 16 GB ? What about cooling system for Processor ?
