Multi-Core Intel Xeon Processors
The Dell Precision 490 is equipped with up to two Dual or Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® 5100 and 5300 series 64-bit processors for a total of up to eight execution cores in two sockets. Dual-Core Intel Xeon processors can deliver a substantial performance increase over Intel single-core processors for multi-threaded applications, multi-tasking environments or very demanding single-threaded applications. The new Intel Xeon 5100 and 5300 series features a new architecture, Intel Core micro-architecture, with a shorter pipeline, lower clock speeds and higher front side bus speeds designed to deliver higher performance levels than previous generation Intel Xeon processors. Multi-core processors allow your system to split tasks between separate processor cores so that they can share the load and get more done in less time. The cores can do more work per second, allowing you to run multiple or multi-threaded applications (DCC rendering and analysis applications) with noticeably quicker results."Run multiple applications with noticeably quicker results."

The Reassurance of ISV Certifications
Dell partners with leading independent software vendors (ISVs) to certify system and application compatibility so that your applications can run seamlessly on Dell Precision workstations. With rigorous testing, Dell also targets flawless compatibility and optimized performance in demanding work environments such as computer-aided design (CAD), engineering, digital content creation, and oil and gas and medical imaging.
Save Energy, Save Costs
Pre-setting the BIOS to go into low power state after 30 minutes of inactivity enables the Energy Star-compliant Dell Precision Workstation to be extremely energy efficient. This high level of power management, combined with power factor correcting power supplies, flat panel displays, Intel Core™ 2 Duo Processors and Dell's thermally efficient BTX chassis design, can help conserve your resources and the earth's resources at the same time.
Storage Flexibility
The Dell Precision 490 supports up to three hard drives, each with up to 500GB* space. This potential capacity of 1.5TB* means you've got space to spare when storing important data and files. And with serial ATA (SATA) and serial attached SCSI (SAS) options with RAID 0, RAID 1 and optional RAID 5 support, you can configure your storage to meet a range of needs from storing large files, to backing up data, to improving performance with data-striping.
Planning For the Future
Scalability is a priority in workstation environments. The Dell Precision™ 490 provides excellent scalability with support for up to two Dual Core Intel® Xeon® processors, Genuine Windows® 7 Professional, up to 32GB* of quad-channel* memory, and up to three hard drives for 1.5TB* of storage. That way, you have flexibility when you're configuring your system and flexibility for growth in the future.
Compact Workstation Power
Small Footprint
Besides being easily convertible from mini-tower to desktop orientation, the Dell Precision 490 gives you maximum performance in an optimized, compact and rack-ready chassis. That flexibility makes it perfect for financial trading floors, high-density design studios or any other location where space is at a premium. Without sacrificing scalability or performance, the 490 stays out of the way so you can work unimpeded.
Excellent User Experience
With the Dell Precision 490, Dell has delivered a totally new customer-influenced chassis designed to deliver flexibility, reliability and ease of access in a compact, rack-ready form-factor. It features rotating optical bays, one-hand internal access, front-panel diagnostic and network LEDs, and a new front bezel design for better ventilation.
