My school's awesome

[dchrsf]

We've got like 6 dell precision worstations in my TV production class at school.

Specs:

Dual Intel Xeon 5160 3GHZ dual core processors (4 cores total)
2GB DDR2
2 x 160gb hdds
nvidia quattro graphics
17" LCDs

These are the computers that us students (freshmen through me, senior) use everyday in this class to edit video and use photoshop CS3. We use Avid for video, and have a 1TB server for storage.

Just wondering if anyone out there goes to a school who has this sort of tech. or if were just really lucky?

What school do you attend?

My high school had to use bondiblue (and later snow white) g3 iMacs for Photoshop and other multimedia work (yes, including video editing). I wouldn't be surprised if they're still there 3 years later. . .

the funny part to me is the 17" displays.

All that horsepower and an itty bitty viewable area.

Are these turbocharged with all-wheel drive steering?

Only 6? I've seen other high school labs with better/more. If thats a college, you're unlucky, lol.

not to mention they are probably running on xp pro 32 bit and not a 64 bit os with 4gb or more of ram to really make them good workstations

Its actually a normal room and not a lab. it also has a 30" apple display with a dual core g5
