Speed equals saved time equals more clients equals more profit.
Being in a high tech college town customers appreciate hi tech applications
They improve QC in the office and push paper thru the pipeline faster, less prone to errors.
Costs dramatically decline the fewer hands that touch paper.
You get the pix.
OK, I sucked it in and bot a Quad Dell running Win xp.
I got 13 USB2 ports powered directly off the machine
I use 4 monitors (3 for me one for the customer - we only do eyeball to eyeball returns. in 20 yrs I tried it all this works best for my personality and my customers' needs.)
The point is that this machine which is essentially a gamers box does the job. It taxes 6 seconds for a ATX to load even th4e most complex customer files. Yes, I timed it.
WE'RE U'GRADING all OFFICE MACHINES NEXT WEEK. LESSER MACHINES, BUT WE CANNOT GET SUCKED DOWN THE BLACK HOLE OF A SLOW SEASON DUE TO SLOW MACHINES/ POOR PROCESES AGAIN.
That's my story and I'm stickin to it...
Happy
