1 Can you recommend a good workstation vendor? {anchor:Can you recommend a good workstation vendor?} I need a new workstation, and I want an Athlon-64 system with a ton of memory. I started by checking out {link:XiComputer's offerings|http://www.xicomputer.com/}. Unfortunately, it seems that they do not offer configurations of their XiMTower 64 SLI workstation with 4-GB ECC RAM; 512 MB is the max for ECC RAM. Here's what they do offer: - 512MB DDR 400MHz PC3200 Interleave \[add $0] - 512MB DDR 400MHz PC3200 Registered ECC \[add $19.00] - 1024MB DDR 400MHz PC3200 Interleave \[add $99.00] - 2048MB DDR 400MHz PC3200 2x1024MB Interleave \[add $219.00] - 4096MB DDR 400MHz PC3200 4x1024MB Interleave \[add $539.00] Why they offer 4 GB of ~~non~~-ECC RAM is a mystery to me. Who wants that much RAM without ECC? I figured that something was wrong with their on-line configurator (especially since I had spec'ed out a 2-GB ECC workstation last month) and asked their sales department to give me quotes on 2-GB and 4-GB ECC RAM configurations. Their response: "Unfortunately, we don't offer it any more." Looks like it's time to go shopping. __Help me out: Can you recommend a reliable system builder?__ Who do you turn to when you buy workstations?
