hello
What you think would be best for Suse or Linux in general, install on a Dell (Precision) Workstation or build a PC?
I know.. which specs.. well, Dell uses custom motherboards and sometimes memory, other than that, the general specs are:
16 GB Ram
1 TB HD (maybe SSD)
Quadcore Xeon CPU (1 or 2 CPU.. haven't decided)
NVidia K4000 3GB GPU
The main thing here is that Dell has the motherboards build for them.
Not talking about price, I know Dell can be a couple of hundreds more expensive but you do gain on the testing and compatibility of the pieces as well as, well.. Dell are indeed quality workstations. The issue here is compatibility with Linux.
Look forward to your opinions. :)
I have an old Dell Precision 340, 2.8 single P4 CPU, 2 GB ram, ATI Radeon GPU and system gets frozen with no apparent reason. asked around here about it with no solution and concluded that it is something on the Linux side that doesn't works well with my hardware (or a piece of it) , gpu driver ? kernel, whatever.. :\.. not the question anymore (XP partition.. the game partition doesn't have such problem: DCU Online at 1600x1200.. no lag at all)
