Building A High End Quadro FX Workstation

Posted by Hemos on from the making-it-faster-and-better dept.

An anonymous reader writes "FiringSquad has an article detailing some of the differences between building a high-end workstation and a high-end gaming system. They go into things like ECC memory, and the difference between professional and gaming 3D cards. The Quadro FX 2000 coverage is particularly interesting -- the system with the Quadro FX 2000 was never louder than 55 dB!"

    The article carefully explains the choices made. However, we find the following line at the end of it:

    Special thanks to AMD, NVIDIA, TYAN, and Ryan Ku at Rage3D.com for helping me with this project.

    Well, maybe they had no influence at all, but then how come that most of the chosen products match this 'special thanks' line?
