Hi all,
I've recently purchased a used workstation from eBay. It's a DellPrecision 690. I'm trying to get something with good performancewithout spending a bundle of \$\$\$. So far the performance is notvery good, and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to what Ican do to improve it. Here is what I know about the system:
Processors: 2 x Dual Core 3.73GHz 5080 / 4MB Cache / 1066FSB
8GB 533 MHz RAM (that's what BIOS says, was advertised as 677MHz)
2 x 500GB SATA II Hard Drives (Set to striping in integratedcontroller)
NVIDIA FX-3400 256MB PCI-E
The rebuild time for the Punchholder model was about 4.5 mins. Itried with and without hyperthreading enabled in BIOS but with verylittle difference.
I'd like to try any other settings that might improve performance,and will invest in better hardware if needed. It just seems to methat the performance is way below what it should be.
The test was ran on SW 2009 SP3.0, XP64 OS
Thanks in advance!
