Week 3 Computer Hardware & Privacy

As mentioned in the lecture having a well functioned computer hardware is very important. I think that the ultimate workstation mentioned in class will be perfect in any environment. The specs include:
Processor: Intel® Core™i7-960 processor. Quad Core; (8MB L2 Cache, 3.20GHz)

Memory: 8GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1333MHz - 4 DIMMs)

Optical Drive: Blu-ray Disc Drive (BD/DVD/CD burner

Hard Drive:  1.5TB - SATA-II, 3Gb/s, 7,200 RPM, 32MB Cache HDD

Video Card: ATI Radeon HD5670 1GB

Display: Edge-to-Edge FHD Widescreen 15.6 inch WLED LCD (1920x1080) W/2.0 MP

With an ultimate workstation I can take into account the many statistics that the sport sensor brings in. The sports sensor will automatically send the information to the ultimate workstation for experts to analyze it. 

In terms of privacy I think that I will need a very secure network. I don't think that identity theft will be of much concern with this product.
