HP Unveils Two Quad-core Workstations
Hewlett-Packard has launched two new workstations powered by two next-generation Quad-Core and Dual-Core Intel Xeon processors. The xw6600 and xw8600 desktops are upgrade to xw series workstations. The workstations boast whopping 128GB 667MHz DDR2 memory (16 DIMM slots), up to 5TB storage capacity, and dual PCI Express 2.0 x16 graphics slots. HP says, both of them are 90 percent recyclable by weight and now come standard with more than 80 percent efficient power supplies, saving businesses money by reducing power requirements. The quad-core HP xw6600 and xw8600 Workstations are expected to begin shipping in mid-December with starting prices around $1,200.

REMEMBER if you get a Xeon i5400 series mainboard to populate the board with FOUR memory sticks for twice the bandwidth. The i5400 series is QUAD channel RAM. It's worth thinking about even if you *only* socket 1 Xeon rather than 2 Xeons. Cannot match the bandwidth of quad channel with and regular DDR2/3 system. A single chip s771 Xeon, set up as quad channel FB-DIMM memory, Quad-core Xeon, on an i5400, will PWN any "consumer-enthusiast" s775 Core Quad system on dual channel DDR2.
