If the old adage 'size matters' holds any merit, Dell has nothing to worry about. The OEM's 17-inch Precision mobile workstation promises a no compromise approach, and at least on paper, that's exactly what users will get.
- Quad-core processor
- 16GB of RAM
- 1GB graphics memory
- Up to 1TB of storage in a RAID array
The 16GB of memory will be the first thing to jump out when glossing over the system specs, which will come as a boon to anyone into heavy content creation. Dell also says its new mobile line will be able to accommodate up to two 30-inch displays, and a jog wheel gives the Precision a unique twist in the notebook market.
Dell says the new Precision mobile workstations will be available soon, but hasn't committed to a specific release date or official pricing yet.

Ever since Windows started using a swap file I've had a fantasy of having my entire hard drive contents load into speedy ram and have lots of ram left over for a swap file and programs. I imagined instantanious reactions to my commands and instant processing. Games that load in a second instead of a minute. The OS boot time of 2 seconds. With 16gigs of ram that is almost possible. With a Terabyte of ram it's downright demanded.
