We have just purchased (5) new Dell Precision 360's (P-IV 3.06 Ghz, 1 GB RAM, Quadro FX500) and are running Swx 2003 SP3.1. We purchased these machines because of time wasted saving models locally on our antiquated P-III 667's. My experience at home w/ a P-IV was one of significant speed increase across the board... but we're not experiencing this increase with these Dells. In fact, it seems to be worse.
Any ideas? Are there any settings that need to be set in the bios? Drivers? We're running XP Pro SP1 and I've installed the Swx certified video drivers for the Quadro card. Is Hyper Threading a hinderance?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as my users are getting pretty frustrated.
Thx,
Eric Swartz
