[AG-TECH] Display machine

[Darin Oman]

We (NCAR) just got a new machine that I've been working on setting up. 
It's a Dell Precision 530, dual Xeon 2GHz processors, 768MB RAM, one 
dual output nVidia Quadro4 900 AGP graphics card and one nVidia geforce 
4 mx 420 PCI card. This machine screams. I don't have everything set up 
yet, but I was able to connect to the AG and have Vic going. I opened 21 
video streams, made about half of them large and the machine barely blinked.
