The optiplex 990 has arrived ..so this thread is dedicated to its use as an SDR receiver..
Just completed the 'ratings test' ...which only gives a score ascociated with the worst component(s) in the system.
It is pre installed with a copy of windows 7 pro
genuine..
The first thing to note is the SFF amall form factor ..
It is even smaller than the Optiplex 620 ...and susopect the foxconn fan is a bit noisy so may need replacement ..
It is fitted with Win7 as I said ..but a 64 bit version ...
The processor is a Quad core i5
Menory is a substantial 8gb
Ratings are as follows ..
Calcs per second 7.4
Mem ops per second 7.6
HD data transfer is currently 5.9 ...but this will change as I intend to clone the O/S to a larger drive asap..
The lowest rating goes to Aero ..
A dismal 1.0
As is the Gaming Graffix ..
Also 1.0
So it is going to need a low profile graphics card ...pcie X16
There are no PCI sockets ...so no extra USB ...not that I should need any with 9 usb as standard
Which leaves the 2 pcie slots ..
One for a graphics card ..and the other for the TBS sat card ..
