why do Dell always try to sell optiplex for networks?
A lot more goes into a network then what you think. Sure a Dimension would
connect to the network but what he is probably talking about is manageability (spelling?). He wants to remotely be able to wake up computers, remotely run/install/update programs on that machine and this goes much better with a computer build ready for corporate networking with say an Intel 10/100 S desktop adapter which supports all these features. Sure a Realtek cards gets you out to the network but is not nearly as reliable as a Intel/3com card. An OptiPlex has this and also has less bells and whistles for example it doesn't have to come with the latest soundcard & video card. ".::KoperniK::." wrote in message ... This is quite disgracefull - People keep telling me about the hard sell on the more expensive optiplex systems when a cheapo dimension with xp pro and a network card will do the job just fine. I recently had my dell account manager insisting that anything other than an Optiplex would not work on a network Isn't this just plain illegal and mis-information? k |
