2 HP’s high-performance workstations. Engineered to give you more than you imagine.

From engineering to finance to software development, HP workstations are designed with real professionals, real work spaces and demanding workloads in mind. And they come in a variety of form factors to meet almost any need, budget, or space requirement.

With HP workstations, you can expect the fastest processors, the latest chipsets, expandable memory systems and a host of diverse options to handle complex simulation and manipulate large design files, including life-like immersive 3D environments. What’s more, HP’s partnerships with some of the industry’s top Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) deliver seamless multi-platform integration with even the most complex engineering and multimedia software. This way, you’re always assured that your applications are optimised for a wide variety of workstation configurations while enjoying support from both HP and the ISVs.

A leader in engineering innovation, HP was the first to market important design innovations such as the totally tool-less workstation chassis. Other innovations include the Performance Tuning Framework and the unique thermal cooling and acoustical design that lead to "whisper quiet" workstations. All these and more are a result of over 20 years of experience in designing and certifying workstations with key customer applications. Top that with HP’s award-winning customer support and you have an indispensable business asset that simplifies even the most complex jobs for higher productivity in the office.

So whether you’re creating the next 3D animation blockbuster, designing a printed circuit board or simulating the performance of tomorrow’s super cars, HP workstations are engineered to give you more value, power and performance to breathe life into imaginations.

1 Expected availability is 2H 2006. 2 Actual bus clock rate is less. Listed bus speed represents the effective data transfer rate. 3 Hardware RAID is not supported on Linux systems. The Linux kernel, with built-in software RAID, provides excellent functionality and performance. It is a good alternative to hardware-based RAID. Please visit http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00060684/c00060684.pdf for RAID capabilities with Linux. 4 Actual speeds may vary. Does not permit copying of commercially available DVD movies or other copy-right protected materials. Intended for creation and storage of your original material and other lawful uses. Double Layer discs can store more data than single layer discs. However, double-layer discs burned with this drive may not be compatible with many existing single-layer DVD drives and players. LightScribe creates a grayscale image similar to black and white photography. LightScribe media required and sold separately. 5 Intel® EM64T requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel EM64T. Processor will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel EM64T- enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. See www.intel.com/info/em64t for more information including details on which processors support Intel EM64T or consult with your system vendor for more information. 6 PTF preinstalled on HP xw6400 with Microsoft Windows XP Professional. 7 OS availability will be: Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional (32-bit) - available today on the Intel Xeon Processor 5000 Sequence and for the Intel Xeon Processor 5100 Sequence with an expected availability of Q03, 2006; Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, expected availability in July 2006 on the Intel Xeon Processor 5100 Sequence only; Preinstalled 64-bit: Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition (expected availability in July 2006, Intel Xeon Processor 5100 Sequence only); Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS 4 and HP Linux Installer Kit (expected availability in July 2006, Intel Xeon Processor 5100 Sequence only). 8 Dual Core is a new technology designed to improve performance of multithreaded software products and hardware-aware multitasking operating systems and may require appropriate operating system software for full benefit; check with software provider to determine suitability; Not all customers or software applications will necessarily benefit from use of this technology. 9 Intel Xeon Processor 5000 Sequence in Q3 2006 available today, expected availability of Intel Xeon Processor 5100 Sequence in Q3 2006. 10 8 GB DIMMs required for 64 GB – expected availability in 2007. 11 Not all Windows Vista features are available for use on all Windows Vista Capable PCs. All Windows Vista Capable PCs will run the core experiences of Windows Vista, such as innovations in organising and finding information, security, and reliability. Some features available in premium editions of Windows Vista – like the new Windows Aero™ user interface -- require advanced or additional hardware. Check www.windowsvista.com/getready for details. 12 This system requires a separately purchased 64-bit operating system and 64-bit software products to take advantage of the 64-bit processing capabilities of the AMD Opteron processor. Given the wide range of software applications available, performance of a system including a 64-bit operating system will vary. 13 Dual Channel is only supported when the system is configured with DDR2 symmetric memory (i.e. 2x256). 14 Above 3 GB, all memory may not be available due to system resource requirements. 15 Double Layer discs can store more data than single layer discs. However, double-layer discs burned with this drive may not be compatible with many existing single-layer DVD drives and players. 16 Note that DVD-RAM cannot read or write to 2.6 GB Single Sided/5.2 GB Double Sided – Version 1.0 media. 17 Sold separately or as an optional feature.
