I was gifted 2 different desktops and would like to know which one to keep, or if I can combine components from each to make the best desktop. I have a samsung 256GB SSD and WD 1TB HD to use.
The first is a Dell Precision T3500 Win7Pro64bit, Xeon X5550, 12GB ram, Dell Inc. 0XPDFK (CPU) motherboard, 1024MB NVIDIA Quadro FX 3800.
The second is a Dell Precision T5500 Win7Pro64bit, Xeon L5506, 12GB ram, Dell Inc. 0CRH6C (CPU1), with 2 512MB NVIDIA Quadro FX 580 cards (speccy also shows ForceWare version: 266.87, SLI Disabled, I don't know what this means).
From reading forums it looks like the Xeon X5550 is better, but please give me your thoughts. I could not find a comparison of the motherboards (hence my posting). If the X5550 is better, and the 0CRH6C mb, are they compatible so i can just swap them? Also I would keep the 1024MB NVIDIA Quadro FX 3800, but would i want to add one of the 512MB NVIDIA Quadro FX 580 cards? or is this possible?
thanks for any help.
