You need to go read the article on this drive over at storagereview. In single user applications this drive beats out scsi. It also holds up very well in games. SCSI is meant for servers. This is a gaming rig.

SCSI puts up a fight on their gaming charts.

But I am not a big gamer, I simply like my system to start up quickly.

Not worth the premium to gamers...a true gamer would rather put more $ into their graphics cards than saving a second or two on a game loading time score. 😛 Even if you like your system to start up quickly, how often do you, as a power user as you'd obviously like us to see you as, restart your computer? I personally do it every few weeks. If spending a lot more money to save yourself a small ounce of time every few weeks is worth the premium, then go ahead and buy your 'needed' SCSI.

:laugh:

Meh, I've been using SCSI for the past 8 years and I'm about ready to sell my equipment, I don't do any video editing any more, so when they have solid state SATA2 drives out I'll probably go that route for OS/apps and some 500gb SATA Seagates in raid 5 for mass storage. Smokin little PC Dell put together there though, I didn't know they had dual GPU's out

<---been out of the loop it seems 🙁

SCSI makes your system start up slower from a cold boot, at least if you use any kind of decent controller. Once it's up it's pretty fast, though not worth the noise and heat to myself personally.

Most of the hardcore gamers that I know run pretty old systems, unless they're sponsored. Hardly any of them put a ton of money into their computers, just enormous amounts of time.

I know this to be personally true, staggered starup (so my measly 480watt true power doesn't die 😛) and the Card probing the SCSI ID's takes about twice as long as when I boot from IDE. SCSI (especially U320 et all) shows its benefits in RAID 0 when disk IO is an issue (video editing etc)

the xps mobile concept looks really cool too.

How do you put a lot of "time" into your computer without spending a lot?

And just because someone puts a lot of hours into a game that does not make them "hardcore."

I would contend that the "hardcore" gamer resides in a higher "enlightened" state above the rest. So much so, this sort of gamer could not for a second stand to have one outdated part on their system, otherwise it would break their "nirvanic harmony" with their games.

Don't be fooled with all the flames on the side, that won't improve the PCMark score.

In all honesty, the only thing special about it is the quad SLI. But I have a feeling that will become available to the public by the end of the year.

 

[EKKC]

i own an XPS 600 and have another one i bought getting ready to go on ebay (too lazy to list) maybe ill custom paint the flame on and sell as a RENEGADE 😀😀😀

By the end of the year... that can be a loooooong time.

I used to be an anti-pre built PC person, but with the price point that Dell offers with those types of system it is very hard not to take a good look at them.

[Leper Messiah]

Wow. Thats sexy. Going to be some awesome performance.

Pressler at 4.25 is equal to a 2.6 or so X2. Not shabby at all.

Best part is the quad SLi. If it works right no game will be able to stop it.
