3DBOXX – Salivating

Posted on May 29th, 2008 in Let's Get Technical by Barbara



O.M.G. – I get these emails from BOXX Technologies all the time and today I actually took a moment to read the most recent.

3DBOXX 7550 Series Workstation:

  • Dual Quad-Core AMD Opteron
  • NVIDIA Quadro FX 1700 graphic card
  • 4 GB DDR2-667 Memory

Only for a measly $3,515.00.  *choke* *gasp*  Oh wait….ONLY $116.70/month!  I’m in trouble.  Do I really need all that processing power to run Second Life? Well…

I have been considering how to speed up my processor. I know, I know, upgrade memory. Did that. Got the highest video card I could get without upping my power supply. However, my poor motherboard can only handle 4 of the 8 pipelines that my graphics card has. And lately, Secondlife has been crashing or freezing in busy areas. Yes, I could get a new motherboard…

But still….the 3DBOXX looks so enticing. I could use it for graphics and video editing, too. But would I use it enough to justify the costs?

While I’m deciding, all of you computer geeks can check it out for yourself at this link.
