HP Z840 a good system to start traning with?

Post by kevmoorejr »

My company is currently "disposing" or some old workstations, the IT manager was walking around and asked if anyone wanted one before the recycles picked them them up. I wanted two but they only allowed me one :(

The specs are:

HP Z840, dual E5-2620v3 2.4GHz
Nvidia P6000, 24GB VRAM
16GB system RAM

No storage, but I as thinking a 512GB SSD for Win10 boot and a 1TB HHD for holding FS data.

Am I good to go or is there anything I should upgrade or change?

You lucky duck.

Should work fine. Though P6000 is a bit old, the 24gb of vram keeps it quite usable.
