Product: Z840 Z640
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi,

I'm looking to replace my HP Z820 v2 workstation with newer either Z640 or Z840 workstation. I need some help with choosing a workstation with the right motherboard / BIOS boot block date. I'm aware Z820 comes with two different types of motherboards v1 and v2 is it the same case with the Z640 / Z840 workstations?

 

What else should I look for?

Which is better Z640 or Z840?

Do either of them support NVMe? 

What are the best processors to upgrade Z840 / Z640?

 

Main use: Video Editing

 

Will appreciate any insight or directions or guidance.

Thanks
