Hi All,
This is my first post here, i am responsible for all IT purchase of a medium size IT education & development firm. I will say that i have decent knowledge of the stuff i buy, but this time i am stuck as need to buy 16 no. workstation & just cant decide what to buy. We have i7 machines with GTX 280 card, we have been using Q6600 since they were launched, but i dont know if i should buy something like this or wait (which i cant do as it seems) for i7 to gt cheaper along with DDR3 RAM.
I need 12 good machines at around 25-30K & four great machines to be using in live teaching (means dual display & need to render live to see results) i can stretch my budget to 35k max. I will need 19" display in all, dont need huge hdd or any optical drive, would go for not very expnsive key+mouse as students break them very fast. Since we use Max & Maya a lot i guess a quad core will be better, suggestions welcomed. We are located in Kolkata which doesnt have access to all the brands, so availibilty & service are also a mjor criteria.
I guess i have written too much so coming back to my delimia which is about the right motherboard, processor, gfx solution. i am really confused. Digit seems all praises about MSI P7NGM-Digital & forum user are praisng MSI P43 Neo, any other suggetion is welcome, should i go for Integrated graphics or add a card, what about RAM? DDR2 or DDR3 if possible.
Pls help me in working out a good soultion & get the best bang for the buck.
Regards
Amar
