Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The IBM IntelliStation Z-Pro (622314U) dual-processor workstation is a great choice for small and growing business who require a strong visual architecture and want to move into 64-bit applications. It features Intel's Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T), which allows you to use familiar 32-bit software while growing into key 64-bit applications, optimizing your workflow and maximizing ROI. This Z-Pro features a robust 3.4 GHz Intel Zeon processor, 1 GB of installed RAM (which tops out at 8 GB), a 73 GB hard drive, combo DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive, super-fast Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, Windows XP Professional, and included keyboard and optical mouse.

The Basics

• Hard Drive: The blazingly speedy 73 GB Ultra320 SCSI hard disk drive (10,000 RPM) hard drive is average in comparison with other workstation desktop PCs in this price range, and it's understandable due to its classification as a business professional computer (where much data is shared and stored on networked servers).
• Processor: The 3.4 GHz Intel Xeon processor has a fast 800 MHz front-side bus (FSB) and 1 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance.) It includes Intel NetBurst Microarchitecture, Hyper-Threading technology, and Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology, offering headroom, expandability, high performance, and outstanding reliability for mid-tier enterprise applications.
• Memory: The 1 GB of installed RAM (PC3200, 400 MHz) will get you started, but you'll want to add more to handle any kind of multimedia application and today's processor-intensive business productivity suites. This desktop has a huge 8 GB maximum RAM capacity.
• CD/DVD Drive: This desktop includes a combo DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive, with 48x write/read and 32x rewrite speed for CDs and 16x read speed for DVDs.
• Keyboard & Mouse: The Z-Pro comes with an IBM Preferred Pro full-size keyboard (PS/2) and an IBM USB optical wheel mouse.

The NVIDIA Quadro FX 3400 video/graphics card is a strong 3D performer, suitable for editing high-end graphical presentations and video.
