HP Workstation Xw6600
*******************
Workstation is generally meant for high application in business use. Workstation has high configuration with latest technology so that it can run every complicated application smoothly. Hp is always making some advanced servers and workstations with upgraded modules. I am going to discuss here a latest HP server which can be useful for your business with its high speed processing machine and all other latest features.
***
Design and look
This workstation, my means about workstation here is desktop PCs, these are specially designed for business and corporate use. We can't afford these in our daily personal uses as they are very costly as well as high configured so that we doesn't require for general purpose. This workstation has a slightly heavy weight with about 14.5KG and designed with popular tower design. I always prefer Tower design as this looks well and covers less area. Tower design is most popular now days and almost all personal computers and workstation are available in tower design.
There are nothing special with its dimension as it can be considered as average size.
***
Processing Speed
Now the important feature of any computing machine is its processing machine, means processor and this workstation is available with high speed Xeon series processor, Intel Quad-Core Xeon E5430 processor with total clock speed of 2.66 GHz. L2 cache size is about 12 MB and processor's front size data bus speed is about 1333 MHz. Now have a brief discussion about this processor, the most important point is its quad-core technology. Quad-core means this processor has four processing cores and we can do multi processing work at same time without losing any speed. The other important feature of this processor is its L2 cache size that is about 12 MB. Generally we see that in Notebooks and desktop PCs it remain between 2 Mb to 6 MB in core 2 duo processor. But high capacity cache size is available in quad-core processors and it is generally uses in workstations and high speed computers, those are more costly.
***
Memory Size
Memory is another important element or hardware of computer, without it or without proper capacity of RAM, any high speed processor is worthless. So that discussing about processor second number is always for memory.
This work station has a average 2 GB of DDR2 RA with total speed measured as 667 MHz. The RAM size it not so good but it is not so bad also. It is installed with two module of 1 GB each. We have a option to upgrade this RAM up to 32 GB. That is what we can full fill our requirement as per need.
Another memory size is known as internal data storage capacity nd this workstation has been provided with serial ATA HDD with total 250 GB capacity.
I can't say about hard disk drive because every person has different choice about it. But 250 GB is good and we can easily upgrade it to any size what we need.
All other important interferences and ports are available with this workstation and it is generally meant for small and medium business.
