“So, where’s the value and justification for buying a system similar to this one, that costs about fives times more than a budget system but has similar performance in several benchmarks? I think the best way to look at this is one component at a time.

This could end up costing you much less but provide nearly the same performance in the applications you run. As we always say around here, you should build the system that meets your needs.”Here are some more Systems articles from around the web:
