We have three Dell 650N workstation (Dual 2.6 Ghz 1 Gig of ram(will be two soon I hope). The integrated audio works great on the grid(not one single problem when tested on linux (FC2 or XP). It has 2 PCI and 3 PCI-X slots but as long as your capture cards have a 3.3V notch they will work either in the regular PCI or the PCI-X slots. We have 5 pinnacle(sp?) PCTV-PRO cards running in it and it runs without any problems. We do have FC2 on that box but that's just because XP wouldn't see all 5 at once. Each system also came with 6 USB 2.0 ports and 2 firewire ports per computer. That should hopefully be enough for all of your other input devices.
Hope this helps Adam Taylor Computing Center University of Louisiana at Monroe -----Original Message----- From: owner-ag-t...@mcs.anl.gov [mailto:owner-ag-t...@mcs.anl.gov] On Behalf Of Stephen Pinsky Sent: Friday, October 15, 2004 8:27 AM To: ag-t...@mcs.anl.gov Subject: [AG-TECH] What computers? We are in the middle of constructing a large room style AG site. We are at the point now that we need to purchase the computers. What do people recommend? We will have 5 cameras, and several other input devices. We have 22 channel of wireless sound, and 3 projectors. Money is not an issues.
