Dell Precision T5500 Workstation Dual Xeon E5530 2.4GHz 4GB 250GB 875W

Dell Precision T5500 dual Xeon workstation

The Dell Precision T5500 is a tower workstation equipped with two Intel Xeon E5530 quad-core processors running at 2.4 GHz, providing eight cores and Hyper-Threading. It ships with 4 GB of DDR3 memory across nine available DIMM slots, a 250 GB 7.2K RPM SATA hard drive, a DVD±RW optical drive, and a dual DVI graphics card with 256 MB video memory. An 875 W power supply powers the system, and no operating system is included.

Suited for legacy Xeon 5500 platform compatibility

This workstation suits users who need a LGA 1366 platform with the Intel 5520 chipset to run existing DDR3-based applications or maintain compatibility with older professional software. The nine DIMM slots allow memory expansion up to 72 GB, and the SATA interface supports additional hard drives up to 6 TB total capacity. Buyers who require newer processor architectures, different memory generations, or alternative drive interfaces should look elsewhere.

Dual Xeon E5530 processors define the platform

The defining specification is the pair of Xeon E5530 CPUs, which lock the system to the LGA 1366 socket and DDR3 memory technology. This processor choice determines the chipset, memory type, and overall performance envelope of the workstation.
