MY CURRENT DESIGN STATION
This computer was put into service in January of 2008. I am hoping to get at leat a couple of years out of it as my primary design station. It is based on an Intel QuadCore processor. This computer has four processors running at 2.8 GHz each. It has 8 gigabytes of RAM and a 10,000 RPM SATA Raptor primary drive for screaming performance when loading and running applications. For my first tier of data it has a 400 megabyte SATA hard drive and all of my photos are stored on an internal one terabyte hard drive. As currently configured this computer has a total of over 1.5 terabytes of total storage. The 22" high definition monitor is controlled by an overclocked video card with 512 megabytes of video RAM.
This work station also has two printers tethered to it. One is for documents and then there is a second Epson printer for printing high resolution photos, CD and DVD disks as needed. I use a Pantone Huey Pro for color management with this and all three of my current work stations.
