Title: Getting a new computer - graphical station with Dual Core Intel Xeon Post by: vlastar on 2010 March 17, 22:53:16 I am having good chance for obtaining computer - graphical station.
The computer will be only (mainly) for Sims 2/3. I am not much experienced with Sims but I would like to change my computer as soon as possible. The specification is below. Does it makes sense to use Xeon processor and NVIDIA QUADRO graphical card for Sims3? Does it give better performance in the game than "normal" computer? Does somebody has experience or information with graphical stations? Many thanks. Processor: Dual Core Intel Xeon 5130 RAM: 4 GB (DDR2-533 Fully Buffered ECC DDR2 SDRAM) Chipset: Intel® 5000X chipset HDD: 73 GB 15000 RPM Serial Attached SCSI + 500 GB SATA DVD: DVD-RW + DVD-ROM OS: Windows XP Pro GRaphical Card: NVIDIA QUADRO FX 3500 I/O: 1x PCI express, 2x mini PCI express,1x PCI I know about problems with accessibility of the server ECC RAM and SCSI HDD Title: Re: Getting a new computer - graphical station with Dual Core Intel Xeon Post by: J.
