Cadalyst (dead link) reviews HP xw8400 Workstation and highly recommends the HP workstation with comment that although the higher price tag would ordinarily preclude the xw8400 from receiving Cadalyst’s Highly Recommended rating, the stellar AutoCAD performance proved to be the determining factor here, so the HP xw8400 earns the Highly Recommended rating. Good points been extremely fast and extremely quiet plus many configuration options, while it’s a little pricey.
