HP Blends Performance, Aesthetics in Winning Workstation Formula (
Page 1 of 2 )
The HP xw6600 workstation ups the ante in the performance wars, firing a shot across the bows of competitors like Sun Microsystems, Lenovo and Super Micro Computer for workstation market dominance.
You have to love workstations, just for the raw power offered, which makes short work of complex tasks. VARs also love workstations, but more for the high sticker prices and the associated margins. After all, one buys a workstation to run complex (and expensive) software, which sings out the word "profit" to the typical solution provider.

Maxed out, a xw6600 can cost over $5,000, while an entry-level unit is much more budget-friendly at under $1,400. It all comes down to the old axiom, "If you want to go fast, expect to spend big."
