Unpacking the rig from Intel

So Intel sent me their Core i7 rig to play with, and I decided to share with you guys my unpacking experience!

The specs for the rig:

  • Intel Core i7 Extreme 3.2GHz (4 cores, 8 threads)
  • Windows Vista Ultimate
  • 3 GB RAM
  • ATI Radeon HD 4800 with 512MB
  • 80GB Hard drive Solid State Drive!!!
  • Samsung 22″ display
  • Microsoft Wireless desktop

UPDATE: Just found out that it’s not using a 80GB HDD but an 80GB Intel SSD!!!

I underestimated the rig they sent me

I know Intel said they’ll send me a machine, but I wasn’t expecting this…

I mean, look at the size of that box! And a 22″ Wide Screen display?? Woah… My desk is once again full of gear…

Anyway, Intel sent me this gear for me to test out the new Intel Core i7 chip, and I will be using it to render videos with Adobe CS4 to really put this machine to the test, which, frankly, I have no doubt it will perform. Stay tuned for more on Tech65.org!

In the meantime, I’m gonna crash in bed before Interesthink3 tonight, and after 5 days of awesome serving at the I Dare You and Encounter Jesus camp for DARE.
