I've had lots of experience with Dell, most of it poor. Wrong upgrade
CPUs, use of non-buffered memory meaning I can't max out my machine's
RAM, mediocre performance from most PERC RAID controllers. I just got
a quote for a 4 CPU / 48 core AMD Magny Cours with 32 15k6 seagates
and 128Gig ram from my favorite white box supplier, with a 5 year
warranty and great support for $25k including shipping. If Dell can
deliver that much horsepower for that price let me know.
