We are looking at purchasing several workstations for
testing/development use but we are not completely sure what to buy. I
would like to get your opinions or compatibility issues with the
following machines (basic specs included)
Dell Optiplex GX280
P4 530 3GHz with HT
1GB DDR2 Non-ECC RAM
128MB ATI Radeon X300 (DVI and VGA adapter for Dual Monitor)
40GB SATA 7200RPM Hard Drive
CDRW/DVD
Broadcom GbNIC
- --or--
HP Compaq dc5000
P4 3GHz with HT
1GB DDR RAM
Intel Extreme graphics2 (64MB equivalent)
40GB PATA 100 7200RPM Hard Drive
DVD-ROM (Linux)
Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit NIC
My personal opinion is to get the HP, partially because it comes with
Mandrake 9.2, so I know it works with Linux. The Dell comes with WXP.
Any opinions and/or known problems would be nice so that I have a good
base to recommend either one.
