133 MHz ServerSet III from RCC Powers High Speed Data I/O in New HP NetServer Systems.3 SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 16, 1999-- Reliance Computer Corp. (RCC RCC - An extensible language. ), the leading independent supplier of high-performance core logic for Intel(R)-based servers, today announced that the Hewlett-Packard Company has selected the RCC ServerSet(TM) III LE for use in the HP NetServer LC 2000 and LH 3000 systems the company announced earlier today. The new dual-processor-capable models incorporate Intel's latest Pentium(R) III processors (formerly known as "Coppermine"), operating at speeds up to 733 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. and featuring a faster 133 MHz front-side bus. HP plans to begin delivery of these new models in December. RCC commenced shipments of its ServerSet III LE core logic chipset in the third quarter of 1999. The company is the only supplier to support dual Pentium A PC with a motherboard that contains two Pentium CPUs. Such machines are designed for use with an operating system that supports symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), such as Windows NT or 2000. See SMP. III or Pentium III Xeon processors on a 133 MHz system bus, with up to 4 GB of PC133 SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) A type of dynamic RAM (DRAM) memory chip that has been widely used since the late 1990s. SDRAM chips eliminated wait states by dividing the chip into two cell blocks and interleaving data between them. memory and a 64-bit PCI bus capability. The modular design of the ServerSet III LE allows system suppliers to combine two ServerSet III LE chipsets in configurations that include up to four Pentium III processors, four PCI buses (in various combinations of 32-bit, 64-bit, 33 MHz and 66 MHz operation), and 4 GB of error-correcting PC133 SDRAM memory. "We're proud that HP chose our ServerSet III LE for these new NetServer systems," commented Raju Vegesna, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.
