re: Point being, a 300Mhz consumer box is different from a 300Mhz business box. The business box contains more features and is optimized for network environments. It requires leading edge chipsets and more stringent testing and characterization. Speed is not everything... in the business world, reliability comes first.
Point made ! :)
Next question, why buy the 300 Mhz Business box when you can buy a 200 Mhz Business box. After all, A business box should be = to a business box. Since speed is only a piece of the pie and all this other stuff that makes a business PC a Business PC should still be the same in each machine. Did I get that right ? Is a 200 Mhz business PC = to a 300 Mhz business PC ? Can we subtract out the speed pice of the pie in this one ?
Jim BTW, I really don't know what some of these are. ACPI, DMI, WuOL, UDMA66, AC97 compliance, CPU BIST, LPC DMA, SMI generation for lockout detection, International regulatory requirements, etc. et |
