Dual AMD® Opteron™ Processors
 The AMD® Opteron™ processor, enabling simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing, is designed to run existing 32-bit applications with outstanding performance and offers customers a simplified migration path to 64-bit computing. This revolutionary processor provides a dramatic leap forward in compatibility, performance, investment protection, and reduced total cost of ownership (TCO). Put two of these processors together and you get double the performance, double the speed, and much more multi-tasking.
ATI® FireGL™ Workstation Graphics Accelerators
 With full certification on the leading OpenGL® and DirectX® computer aided design (CAD), architecture/engineering/construction (AEC) and digital content creation (DCC) applications, FireGL is the choice for 3D professionals working in Windows® and Linux® environments. Plus, FireGL's new hardware accelerated rendering delivers real-time cinematic quality previews directly within many content creation applications.
NVIDIA Quadro® FX Workstation Graphics Boards
 The NVIDIA Quadro® FX series of professional solutions delivers the fastest application performance and the highest quality workstation graphics. Raw performance and quality are only the beginning! NVIDIA Quadro FX takes the leading computer aided design (CAD), digital content creation (DCC) and scientific applications to a new level of interactivity by enabling unprecedented capabilities in programmability and precision.
ECC Registered Memory
 ECC means Error Correction Code. When a one-bit error occurs, ECC memory can automatically detect and correct the error to keep the system running. Please check with motherboard suppliers for which models and brands support ECC memory.
Some SDRAM memory controller designs rely on the module to drive and synchronize their own memory control signals. When the chip that controls this signal is physically located on the module, you have a Registered module.
SATA Hard Drive
 SATA (Serial ATA) is faster than traditional parallel ATA drives - 150 MB/sec as opposed to 100 MB/sec, and 10,000rpm as opposed to 7,200rpm. SATA Drives will reach transfer speeds of up to 300 MB/Sec in the future.
SATA comes with a big improvement in error correction. Not only has the error correction on data transfers been improved upon, error correction on instructions coming into the hard drive has also been added! The result is faster and more reliable data coming back to the SATA controller.
Ultra 320 SCSI Supported
 SCSI is an industry-standard storage interface that allows the connection of multiple devices to a computer.SCSI stands for Small Computer System Interface. The latest revision to this standard is referred to as Ultra320 SCSI. Ultra320 SCSI doubles the maximum data transfer rate for the SCSI bus from 160MB/sec to 320MB/sec.
RAID 0 and RAID 1
 RAID 0 can read and write faster than a non-RAID configuration, since it splits the data and accesses both drives in parallel. RAID 0 does not provide any data redundancy.
RAID 1 provides data protection by duplicating all data from a primary drive on a secondary drive. Mirroring provides optimal data integrity and immediate access to your data if one drive fails. RAID 1 allows you to use only half of the available capacity of your hard drives. |
