Bill Gates' Computer Specs

I believe that these are from 2 years ago, but am not sure. I'm just curious to know your thoughts on his setup and maybe explain to me why and how a monitor can cost you $3000+ Do any of you use the same stuff as him?

Yeah. Mine too. I'm certainly no computer genius. lol But I'm trying envision what a $1500 monitor has to offer.

Engineering CAD applications make use of the high pixel count monitors. Being able to look at details without zooming in & losing perspective is valuable. The monitor in your sheet is 2560x1600 or 4 mega pixels. Definitely chokes a horse running general computer class video.

Medical applications, graphic artists, and games can also show details lost in low resolution monitors.

Working backwards: if one does not want a continuous hour glass on the screen, lots of pixels requires huge video power which in turn demands fast CPU lots of memory and storage. All of which (especially video) consumes enough electric wattage to heat a small house.

Oh! Ok. I see what you mean now. Thanks!
