Dell's Precision M6500 refreshes their hardcore workstation with ass-beating guts: It's the first with Intel's Core i7-920XM Quad Core Extreme, Nvidia's new QuadroFX 3800M, and up to 16GB of RAM running at 1600MHz.
Dell Precision M6500 Workstation
Besides all of those "firsts" (which will be exclusive only temporarily, undoubtedly, since Intel and Nvidia gots to play with everybody else too) it's got a 17-inch, 1920x1080 LED-backlit display that pops 100 percent of the Adobe color gamut. Plus, it now has user-selectable color profiles, so it's easy to switch 'em around.
The 8.4-pound monster is for "creative professionals" in animation, CAD work, oil & gas stuff, and federal/defense, so you know it's ungodly expensive for that much gear goodness, before you even ask how much.
