Dataram Announces Memory Upgrades for IBM RS/6000 F50, H50 SMP Servers and RS/6000 SP 332MHz Wide and Thin Nodes.PRINCETON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 1, 1998--Dataram Corporation (AMEX AMEX See: American Stock Exchange :DTM DTM dermatophyte test medium. ) a leading provider of gigabyte memory upgrades for workstations and servers, today announced immediate availability of memory upgrades for IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) (R) RS/6000(R) Model F50 and H50 SMP (Symmetric MultiProcessing) A multiprocessing architecture in which multiple CPUs, residing in one cabinet, share the same memory. SMP systems provide scalability. As business increases, additional CPUs can be added to absorb the increased transaction volume. servers, and RS/6000 SP(TM) 332MHz Wide and Thin nodes. The F50 is a one- to four-way symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) desk-side server featuring 166MHz or 332MHz Power PC 604e(R) processors. The H50 is a rack mount version featuring 332MHz processors. RS/6000 SP systems represent the high end of the RS/6000 family of UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). offerings. The new SP nodes based on IBM's 332MHz microprocessor provide up to 5 times the performance of Deep Blue, IBM's chess playing computer. All systems support up to 3GB of 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 achieve a peak memory bandwidth of 1.3GB/second. These systems have two available slots for memory cards. Each card contains sixteen slots for SDRAM modules. The modules are installed in pairs of identical capacity. Dataram's DRIH50/256 is a 256MB upgrade consisting of two 128MB SDRAM modules. Although each card is physically capable of holding up to 2GB of memory, although the systems are designed to recognize 3GB maximum. Dataram also offers the sixteen-slot memory card for customers who purchase their system with only one. The DRIH50/256 lists for $1,045. Dataram Corporation is a leading provider of gigabyte memory upgrades for workstations and servers and specializes in the manufacture of large-capacity memory boards for Compaq, Digital, HP, IBM, SGI and SUN computers. Dataram upgrades are a cost-effective alternative to purchasing memory directly from the system manufacturer and are priced up to 50% less. Products can typically be delivered within 24 hours of order placement. A lifetime warranty and express-ship replacements program back all Dataram memory products. Dataram is headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey
Princeton, New Jersey is located in Mercer County, New Jersey, United States. Princeton University has been sited in the town since 1756. and is celebrating its 31st year in the computer industry.
