PRINCETON, NJ -- Dataram Corporation (NASDAQ: DRAM), a leading provider of server, workstation, and PC memory, today announced first-to-market memory upgrades for Hewlett-Packard's Intel(R) Itanium(tm)-based HP workstation i2000, HP server rx4610, and HP server rx9610. Dataram's product offering, the DRH4610, is available in capacities of 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB. Each memory upgrade consists of four identical 133MHz, ECC-protected, SDRAM DIMMs. The Itanium processor is the first in a family of 64-bit products to be released by Intel and is targeted at enterprise and high-performance computing applications. With tremendous addressing capability, Itanium-based systems can offer up to 64GB of memory with a choice of HP-UX, Windows(R), or Linux(R). The HP workstation i2000 is available with one or two Intel Itanium processors at 733MHz or 800MHz. HP currently offers only a 1GB upgrade limiting customers to a 4GB maximum, but with Dataram's 4GB upgrade customers can achieve a maximum memory capacity of 16GB. DIMMs are installed on one or two Memory Expansion Cards (MECs). Each MEC contains eight DIMM slots and DIMMs must be installed in groups of four identical modules. For servers, HP offers a rack-optimized rx4610 available with two to four Intel Itanium processors at 733MHz or 800MHz and supports up to 64GB of Dataram memory. Initially running HP-UX only, the 16-way HP server rx9610 is HP's most powerful Itanium system. Based on HP's Superdome cell architecture, the rx9610 supports up to four cell cards, each holding four 733MHz or 800MHz Itanium processors and from 1GB to 16GB of memory, for a maximum system capacity of 64GB. "With these new Itanium based systems, HP ushers in a new era of 64-bit computing power available for Windows users," stated Paul Henke, Dataram's Director of Product Marketing. "In addition, users of HP-UX and Linux operating systems now have more processor and hardware options than ever before. Having first developed 64-bit architecture memory back in 1992, Dataram is the leader in this high-end market segment. Today, we continue the legacy, being first to market with compatible memory for HP's Itanium-based servers and workstations". Additional information is available at www.dataram.com
