Techtree News Staff, Dec 16, 2008 1723 hrs ISTDesigned for high-end gaming and multimedia applications
eRacks Open Source Systems announced a new desktop model using Intel Core i7 (Nehalem) processor.
One of the first Linux package to feature Intel Core i7 processor, Ubuntu Linux OS is installed as default and can be tweaked to make the best out of integrated memory controller (IMC).
The IMC can handle flow of data from and to system memory directly for improved performance instead of channeling it through the chipset basically intended to reduce memory latency.
The i7Desk desktop is meant for digital media content creation, high-end gaming and for handling multi-media application work processes. This desktop supports Intel X58-based motherboards with latest Intel LGA1366 socket supporting 45nm process built Intel Core i7 processors. It features two SATA II hard drives for storage
Intel Core i7 supports triple-channel memory configuration and i7Desk has 6 DDR3 memory modules with triple channel support and maximum RAM capacity is 24GB.
For choosing i7Desktop configuration, visit here. The i7Desk is priced starting from $2,095 and comes with a standard 1-year full or 3-year limited warranty.
To be specific, this Linux-based Core i7 would be a perfect fit for animation, multimedia content creation, special effects/sound effect studios or game development studios. Also, the cost of possession of a Linux-based desktop is comparatively less than that of a desktop that needs buying licenses for proprietary OS and other applications.
