HP PAVILION PC FEATURES NVIDIA 64MB DDR GEFORCE 256 GPU.The Hewlett-Packard Company has selected the 64MB Double Data Rate (DDR (Double Data Rate) Refers to an SDRAM memory chip that increases performance by doubling the effective data rate of the frontside bus. For more details, see SDRAM. DDR - Double Data Rate Random Access Memory ) version of NVIDIA's GeForce 256 GPU GPU: see secret police. (Graphics Processing Unit) A specialized logic chip devoted to rendering 2D or 3D images. Display adapters contain one or more GPUs for fast graphics rendering. as the ultra high-performance option for build-to-order HP Pavilion HP Pavilion may refer to:
"This new 64 MB DDR GeForce delivers an unbelievable visual experience for users who want to push the performance envelope to levels never before dreamed of," said Jeff Fisher Jeffrey Michael Fisher (born February 25, 1958) is an American football head coach, currently the head coach of the Tennessee Titans of the National Football League. With the resignation of Pittsburgh's Bill Cowher[1], Fisher now has the longest tenure as head coach with , vice president of sales at NVIDIA. "NVIDIA continues to produce leading-edge technology that meets the needs of the leading platform suppliers, and ultimately delivers the best graphics experience to the consumers." The architecture of the NVIDIA DDR technology almost doubles the usable bandwidth between a frame buffer An area of memory used to hold a frame of data. Typically used for screen output, the buffer is the size of the maximum image that can be displayed on the screen. The memory, which is either a separate memory bank on the display adapter or a reserved part of regular memory, holds a and a graphics controller. The DDR interface uses SSTL-2 signaling and has become the industry standard for advanced frame buffer applications. With the DDR technology reads and writes at both rising and falling edges of the clock, a two-times higher bandwidth can be achieved when compared against traditional RAM technology. The HP build-to-order program lets customers personalize their HP Pavilion PCs with a choice of different components.
