FireGL V7700 Pictures

We have now in place a new additional “in house” test system courteous of Intel EU.    The Intel® Desktop Board DX38BT Extreme Series with and Intel® Core™2 Extreme Processor QX9650.  Now this could be found in most entry level workstation scenarios, but more likely at a starting Mid range.  

Our first outing with Intel's D5400XS Skulltrail Mainboard.   Many have seen this configuration working flawlessly within the multimedia sectors; though as our want we took it one stage further to show the SoHo users that this mainboard configuration can be used successfully within the Workstation environment.   Within this scenario we aimed to show how powerful the set-up really is that we have shown today and, how well it can perform with the use of just 1 CPU in place.  These are expensive bits of kit and for the SoHo user taking their time in upgrading we decided upon showing this route today with a further look later on utilising both CPU’s.    The results we have collated will astonish you all.

Now a few pictures of the mainboards and graphics card all together.
